| | Last night I played with my daughter. Okay, I hang with her a lot. We read together. Today we washed window together, but it isn't often we play together. We were playing frisbee. Soon she told me she was standing in Washington and she was going to throw the frisbee all the way to Colorado. I was game. Soon we were sending it all over the country just guessing where each state might be in relation to where we were standing (aka- which state we were in). Cute, yes. BUT, the best part was about ten minutes in the game. She ran a little ways off our "map" and sat down.
"I'm in the Garden of Hope," she said.
I didn't know what to say, so it received as much importance as the rest of the states. Towards the end of our game, she announced that the Garden of Hope was her favorite place. "It is always close. Never too far."
So, if any of you are feel like you're jumping around the map too much, know that the Garden of Hope is always near.

i told bel about this, she smiled and said 'you say that all the time, mom' i tried to explain it's not the same, my knowledge is hard-won, your girl was born with it AND didn't have it taken from her by certain parenting techniques.
