She Gets That From Me...

Last summer, I got the priviledge to welcome a new face into my circle of family.
My handsome little brother began dating a petite blonde girl, with the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen. They sparkle and when she smiles, her eyes smile back at you. You can just tell that she is a very happy, confident person.

There are enough party poopers in the world, so I really don't prefer to waste much of my time around people like that. None of us know how much time God plans for us here, so we should make the best of every day we're granted. Smile more! Be kind to others! Do something thoughtful and unexpected for another everyday! I see these characteristics of kindness and vivaciousness in her. That delights me because when joy comes from within a person, it's positive effects radiate to everyone surrounding them.

A sense of humor is also a key element here. A must. For I am incessantly joking with her, that all of her positive attributes "she gets from me". It's been a little joke we've shared from our very first meeting and continues on. What a good sport! So, I welcome this little ray of sunshine into my inner circle! I shall take her under my wing and teach her all that I know!! (imagine that last sentence: me standing, arm raised in proclaimation) ;)

In all seriousness, someone did a wonderful job raising this beautiful young lady. I'm glad she and my brother have found each other and I hope she stays forever.

Happy Birthday, Jenny Mc....You're awesome! And, yeah, you get that from me.
