7.22.12 Morning

Good morning, super spiritual Sunday has skipped into your life.  I have been waiting patiently for today to come, knowing that PM's Sermon will probably touch on the tragedy and provide some words of wisdom.  No matter what is spoken about, her Sermons provide such a sense of understanding and comfort. 

Today is a special day for a wonderful friend, Happy Birthday, AMC!!!!!! It was sweet to hear a story of how her famly started calling her princess 31 years ago today.  She remembers vividly being told at 5 to clean her room and much like I hear out of my daughter's mouth, "Who do you think I am, Cinderella?"  So today as you wear your tiara, remember you are Cinderella and today is the ball.  Have a great birthday!!!!
The story reminded me of my first day of kindergarten.  I recall my mom walking me to school, (in those days children actually walked to school) My mom couldn't walk that much though so her best friend drove behind us and picked her up.  In Cranford, it was a half day and I cannot recall if I went in the morning or afternoon... doesn't matter.. anyway, I remember going to my aunt's house after and my grandmother was there, she asked how my first day went.  "I was called Jenny!" My grandmother flipped out and said that my name was Jennifer and therefore, I should be called Jennifer! I do not know what was said by my mother, but still today those from Cranford call me Jenny.  (THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES) and to this day, I do not like the name Jennifer...  Thank you mom for being the person who stuck up for me, even to your own mother.  May everyone have a super spiritual day... and please... if you are not from Cranford, do not call me Jenny.. it's Jen.  :-)
