Today's observation - January 3, 2011 - Growth

Once I learned that my daughter was on her way home from being away since Tuesday, I got that fluttery feeling in my belly,  Excitement.  I love the hugs and smiles when she returns home.  But my first observation upon seeing her after five days of absence...is that she grew!  Taller, wiser, more lovely...growth isn't always just getting taller.  It's who you are that grows too.
