Love Train

I have written before that I started getting daily emails from Scott Noelle who does a parenting affirmation each day. Today's was on the Love Train:

:: Love Train ::Imagine you're in a train station awaiting the arrival of a most beloved friend or family member whom you haven't seen in years.You've been anticipating this reunion for days,activating memories of good times you've shared, and you *know* you're going to explode with joy when you finally meet.

The train arrives and people begin deboarding as you balance on your tip-toes, reaching for a glimpse of your cherished guest. You can barely contain the immense love and joy you're feeling.....

Now imagine that cherished guest is your child!Not some future adult version but your now/today child, coming off that train, just as eager to connect as you are.Imagine meeting your child with that same expectation of overflowing love and joy every morning as you rise and every time you reconnect throughout the day.

If you like this idea, imagine it often.Creation begins with imagination.

I have to say that this is the feeling I get each day when I pick up Lucas. I can't wait to see his smiling face and hear him say, "Mommy!" when he sees me. I get a big hug from him and he reaches up to take my hand. It is the best feeling in the world.
