A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)  

An ode to Ice Cube, "Today was a good day..."


Today was a good day. I woke up to the rain and I smiled. I remembered that Obama secured the nomination last night. I remembered that I have been taking charge of my life, instead of going through the motions. I remembered this past weekend and was reminded that a surprise may be just around the block.

I also remembered that life can be a blissful experience, if you choose that path.

The NBC News commercial says that believing in the potential of a great day makes you get out of bed in the morning. Well, today I believed. While the day wasn’t great, it was damned good. Here’s looking forward to a great tomorrow!
