My daughter called tonight to tell me something good was happening for her and my heart was so full because I knew I had helped in a small way. Children and seeds need careful tending. They have to be watched and tended and urged to grow.
It all sounds so simple, and yet it is not. It takes a careful touch and it takes tender loving words to make both grow. It may not seem important to tell a grown child that you think that they are doing something good, but a compliment makes everybody feel good.
I was not a person who had a mother who really loved me. I could not do anything right and it was unheard of to get an attaboy from her. My mother only loved one person in her life and she looked at her everyday in the mirror.
I love to tell my children that they are special. I don't care if they are human, animal or plants.
