All Grown Up

I gotta tell ya...

Most days I'm a pretty proud Mom. Other days I am EXCEPTIONALLY proud. Today is one of those days.

I have three children. I would say that they've all done, and are doing well. Good people (ask ANYBODY who knows them), intelligent, absolute blessings.

My oldest daughter Lauren is a Cal State Long Beach graduate and does AMAZING work with children who have autism. It takes a very special type of person to do the work that she does. EXTRAORDINARILY patient, and loving.

My youngest daughter Jordan is a Cal State Northridge graduate and also does WONDERFUL work with children. She is also a writer (wonder where she gets that from), and is working on her first book which comes out in August.

My son Terence graduated from high school last Wednesday. TODAY he went on his very first interview EVER...and was HIRED ON THE SPOT! The hiring manager told him that she liked the way he was dressed and was impressed by his confidence.

That's how it's done!

Go in there with your head held high, KNOWING that the job (whatever it is one is applying for), is YOURS!

So on this day,"30 Days of THANKFULNESS: Day 4" - I am THANKFUL for having children who have all grown to be OUTSTANDING members of society. They have never been in any trouble, they help others whenever possible, and everyone who knows them LOVES them. It is an absolute honor to call them mine. They make me proud each and every day.

Now Let the DIALOGUE begin: Do you remember what your first job was? Mine was at Stride Rite in the Carson Mall.

Talk to me!

Til next time...
