What 'Thank you' does ...

...yesterday started with myself in front of my daughter's desk.  Her textbooks from school, piled taller than myself, waiting to be thrown away.
All her notebooks ...loads of work lots of climbs...and, this, my 3rd child finishing  Junior High.
It left me close to tears, but then a dear friend suggested:  "No tears now,  instead tell me 10 things you are grateful for."  

Guess what?

I made it to the first announcement and then I had to stop because I was in tears.
No time to cry them  all  out~~~

Work started.

Wonderful work, the morning~parents meetings.  Great talks, very constructive ideas.  And then classes.  

And ...

One present after the other.

↓ I think, so many giraffes today, definitely leave me with a message.
​ Look ahead!  Not back.  Look up!  Not down!

As coincidence likes, it would have been my dads 97th birthday.  
Thank you all for joining my celebration.

​Today, the present shower went on:

"Thank you"  is the soothing phrase without any doubts.

​THANK YOU!
