Chamomile Tea

Tonight I bought my favorite night time tea. It is called Celestial Seasonings Honey Vanilla Chamomile. It is such a soothing cup of tea just before bed time. But I got a bonus with this box. On the back of the box is a poem of sorts, and it spoke to my heart and I want to share it with you.

If I Had My Child To Raise Over Again

-

If I had my child to raise all over again,

I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less

-

I's do less correcting

and more connecting

-

I'd take my eyes off my watch,

and watch with my eyes

-

I would care to know less,

and know to care more

-

I'd take more hikes and fly more kites

-

I'd stop playing serious,

and seriously play

-

I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars

-

I'd do more hugging, and less tugging

-

I would be firm less often,

and affirm much more

-

I'd build self-esteem first,

and the house later

-

I'd teach less about the love of power,

and more about the power of love.

-

Tonja and Eric, I am sorry I wasnt more like this.

I love you both so much

Mom
