GOOD MORNING ☀️

And happy Friday! Do you have any plans this weekend?

I'm a broken record, asking you that every Friday, so I'll just move on. 😂

Hoping you have a wonderful day, weekend, and why stop there? Have a wonderful month! God bless!

10 Simple Yet Impactful Ways Grandma And Grandkids Can Serve Others

Last month, I shared several seemingly easy ways to give back to the community with your grandkids. I received tons of positive feedback and wanted to expand upon this idea for the month of November.

📚 STORY OF THE DAY

Wow...what a letter.

Paul Harvey's Letter To His Grandchildren

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I’d like better.

I’d really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches.. I really would.

I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated.

I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car.

And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen.

It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.

I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.

I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it’s all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he’s scared, I hope you let him.

When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you’ll let him/her.

I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.

On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don’t ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won’t be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom.

If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one.

I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.

When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head.

I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy / girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like.

May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.

I don’t care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don’t like it… And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he/she is not your friend.

I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.

May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays.

I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor’s window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.

These things I wish for you – tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it’s the only way to appreciate life.

🤣 BAD JOKE OF THE DAY

My purse is like an onion.

When I open it, it makes me cry. 😂

JANUARY 5th, 2024 Good morning ☀️ Well, we're officially into a new year. So I felt it might be helpful to set up a bucket list of sorts to set the tone for a happy, healthy, and fun year. It's basically a giant list of things you can do - based on the month you're in - so you never run out of ways to connect with your grandchildren (and even yourself). 💫 There's plenty more in this first weekly edition of the year.

GOOD MORNING ☀️ I'm really excited to tell you about something today. 🙂 It's been my dream to write a book.

I called it Echos From The Heart, and it includes 50+ uplifting, heartfelt stories that have been featured in this email over the past year. If you like to read the old fashioned way - or you just want to support my...
