When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

I was informed by Hannah that I didn't put anything "fun" on my blog yesterday or today.  I said "I've been busy and have hardly sat down at my computer."  She said "What is wrong with you?!"  Okay...I'm gonna take that as a very strong hint that I sit here waaay tooooo much! LOL

Well Hannah my dear here is something that my friend Jackie sent me that I feel is appropriate when talking about your Granny, and I hope that one day you can say the same about me.  I LUV U! Mom

 

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
 (Written by a former child)
 
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first 
painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately
wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, 
and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite 
cake for me and I learned that the little things can be the 
special things in life.

When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a prayer, 
and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and 
I learned to trust in God.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a 
meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I 
learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn'tlooking, I saw you give of your 
time and money to help people who had nothing 
and I learned that those who have something 
should give to those who don't.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take 
care of our house and everyone in it and I learned 
we have to take care of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you handled 
your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good 
and I learned that I would have to be responsible 
when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from 
your eyes and I learned that sometimes things hurt,
but it's all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared 
and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I learned most of life's lessons that
I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and 
wanted to say, "Thanks for all the things I saw when 
you thought I wasn't looking."
