We live in an "interesting" world


I wrote the other day about creating our own reality for our family, and I feel blessed that my kids are happy and proud of their heritage, and having a blast celebrating.  I love the picture above of my baby with his marshmallow menorah that he made in school, the kids ate it this morning, he came home from school singing the dreidel song.  My daughter is the only Jewish person in her school, so what does she do? Tell everyone about Chanukah, she was so proud to tell me about it.  We brought in a Menorah that she made last year to her new school, it is made out of dreidels, and she is so happy to respect what everyone celebrates, and to share what she celebrates.  We are going to a Chanukah party at my son's Jewish after school program, so excited.

Interesting is a word that you don't always want to hear.  If you ask someone about an outfit or your hair and they say interesting, it is not necessarily good.  I choose to use that word in that context, there is so much craziness going on right now in the world, bonkers!  I suppose the only good part is that we can have an opinion, and vocalize that opinion, and take action.

Conclusion,
Life will happen,
We choose to live it our way,
Stand up for what we believe in,
Live by example,
Enjoy and Share our traditions,
Respect others,
Happy Holidays,
Happy Birthday Micha :)
