Our kids had a book made up for my 70th birthday. It was filled with great pictures of the family. Next to each picture was a wonderful story relating to the picture. They worked so hard on it - and my first reaction was "why did you put such an ugly picture of me on the cover?" I'm really ashamed of myself - they did all of that work, and made it so beautiful - and my first reaction was negative.
I hope that I am smarter today than I was on that day!!!
