Explore the Talent

Good morning family. What a beautiful Saturday. This is one of those days that you not only appreciate life but you appreciate living in Florida. One of the best weather days this year. I've been sitting listening to kids cycle through their piano lessons and it really makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something even though I'm not taking the lessons. Exposing our children to "life" outside of our normal life is very important. I know we can't guarantee them success when they become adults but we can point them in the right direction. Guiding and directing them starts at home. If you have an opportunity to speak to and encourage children, don't miss it. It's so easy to just wait around for children to grow up and move on, but that's not the right thing to do. While we have their ear, while we have the chance to influence them we should be supportive, affording them the opportunity to explore theirinterest. My three boys always played baseball. I can remember standing in the middle of the park at Rondette trying to watch Courtney play in the dirt and three baseball diamonds at one time. They played so much ball that they became disinterested and simply decided to quit. What I failed to do is ask them what they wanted to do, what their interest were. I didn't try to uncover any other talents because my husband and I felt sports was it, they were boys, right? Courtney always had the gift of gab and writing, but I had no idea my boys possessed that same gift. I can't make up for what I failed to recognize in them but I can help my grandchildren find their niche, that thing they love, that thing that makes them smile. I can and I will.
