Glad all over...

I just finished Part 2 of the AARP Safe Driving Instructing, and it was another successful venture. It is always fun to watch people come together and share stories about driving. Without having to be best friends, there is a certain affirmation in someone seconding your opinion about traffic, the absence of appropriate turn signals, and let us not forget the rudeness of other drivers. I should have given out gold, silver, and bronze ribbons for laughter inducing remarks! Instead of only those 3 awards, I had a vase full of glads[gladiolas] and everyone got to take one home. It was my way of telling them about the value of taking some time to smell the flowers, but also find something to be 'glad' about. Get it?

I'm glad that my mom receives such joy from my dog. It's a mutual admiration win/win thing! To hear Flo say,"You're such a good girl...You have such beautiful eyes...I love you, sweetheart...[I must remind you that she is talking about the dog, not me!!]

I'm glad that she is enjoying the birds and flowers. She tells me,"You have such good scenery here."

I'm glad that we get to laugh together.
