2/23/13 - Family Time Around Sports

Day #54, 2/23/13, came to an end....always the chance for a busy day when I am on call for work.....and it was a busy day, but it was bookended by girl's/women's basketball.....Alexa's team won the Rec League Grades 4/5/6 championship game in the AM and then we all went in the evening to watch the Penn Women's basketball team win their 5th Ivy Game in a row!!!! I feel lucky for this family time, around sports. The memories we are all building together as we watch basketball (or later softball/baseball and then soccer, and field hockey) will be with us for a long, long time. I have been reflecting a lot on parent/child interactions this month (mostly due to things at work) and I want to focus on events that build and strengthen these, and, for tonight (and many times), basketball does that for the Sherrs!

6/1/13 - Anna Victoria Sherr

Image
Day #152 of lucky year 2013 is 6/1/2013. Day #152 of 2004 was also VERY lucky for us. Anna Victoria Sherr was born and what a joy she is and continues to be! I am so proud of how she is growing up - she makes me laugh, she makes me see the good in life, she makes me so happy. It goes without saying that what I feel lucky for today is this beautiful daughter of mine.

5/8/13 - Cleansing Rain

5/8/2013 - Day #128 of lucky year 2013. Today, I feel lucky for the cleansing power of rain. Sure, it was frustrating the way that Mother Nature played games with us today - sunny/pouring/sunny/sprinkles/partly sunny/POURING - but the rain seems to have washed away much of the pollen that has been causing me great nasal distress....so tonight, I am breathing better and for that, I feel lucky.

5/11/13 - Miss Shernoff's Wedding

Today was day 131 of lucky year 2013. Now, 131 is a palindrome so you KNEW it would be a good day. And it was, spent with family, meaning even more since I will be working much of the next two days (including Mother's Day) because of Graduation events.....I REALLY felt lucky tonight when Sarah and her mom, Winnie Walters were playing beautiful music at Miss Shernoff's wedding. Not only did their music move me (as it usually does), but I was able to see the joy in Anna and her friend's faces as they were able to attend the ceremony and see one of their favorite teachers get married. Best comment overheard "I am pinching myself so I know this is not a dream!" This pure joy is exactly what I feel a wedding should be about. And the music, and the girls' reactions brought that joy to the forefront. Amen!
