Well, okay, I might have had a clue what was underneath. +Rhonda Britton? created a beautiful painted rug on the back patio this last summer! We got a light accumulation of snow yesterday and I stepped out to make a little design for her before we left for work. I enjoy creating with images and words, so this came together this morning whilst procrastinating getting out from under the covers. I took the picture on my cell phone, edited with Snapseed, and then thought Prisma added a little visual pop. I love that modern technology, for all it's distraction, also provides an easy way for anyone to create and share what's in their head. There was a time, not that long ago, when most of us could only envision, but had neither the time, tools, or talent to translate what was in our mind's eye to the physical world.

Today is daughter +Maddie Cramer's 16th birthday. A decade ago, I wrote about her at six years old and I was struggling with her starting kindergarten. This year, she just completed her freshman year in high school. We made a deal when she was younger that she would stop growing up and stay my little girl. Okay, maybe I made the deal and she just smiled up at me. She could not avoid it and, truthfully, I would never stop her from growing into the amazing human being I get to know each day. Right now she's a 16-year-old sophomore. Every single day of this journey I have been the proudest father anywhere. That's always what I thought dads were supposed to feel like, and I was right. The one thing nobody tells you when you have a child is that on that birth certificate, in fine print, it spells out that you will never have another worry free day in your life. But it also says that new life is an opportunity to have the most important job in the world. I got to have the most important job in the world. Thank you daughter, Happy Birthday, and I love you.

Story from a decade ago here………….

"If you are into that sort of thing, if you are the type to make a judgment based only on what you see, then you are not really my type at all."

Highly recommend reading the entire essay; takes just a quick minute; then pass it along.

Thanks +Michelle C?? for the original post; and for her passion to help beautiful words and people be known.?

Prison Break is coming back. Get ready to turn off suspension of disbelief again! This is one of the only shows I enjoyed so thoroughly that was so over-the-top cheesy. 😀
