My favorite trite phrase that adorns various areas of my house is “Live, Laugh, Love” .  I think it’s obvious why I might find this to be endearing but I think why I enjoy those three words because they do some up the existence of our brief life on earth.

Today I attended the BETA club convention with Ryan, my 11 1/2 yr old son, in Dallas, Texas.  Live, Laugh, Love was the keynote speaker’s theme and he did an outstanding job delivering the message to the 800+ hyperactive middle school students. 

It’s been a LONG DAY…and it’s not done.  We are about to go back to the hotel (yes….back to the convention) for the DANCE portion of the evening.  It should be a sight to see! 🙂 

But, again, do you know what God did?  He’s brought my mom into the picture so I have a reprieve.  My mom is attending the seminar on how to protect children from child abuse that is one floor above our convention.  I had NO IDEA she was going to be there!!!! I accidentally went up on that floor, saw the different booths and thought I wonder if my mom is here.  Called her, and voila she is! So I get to visit with her tonight.

Live, Laugh, Love.  I’m living this moment, laughing at the chaos and loving my family!

Blessings
