I love that the worst traffic I encounter is when the cat gets underfoot on my way downstairs. Gone are the days of being stuck in the Toronto "parking lots" that are disguised as highways.
I love that I don't need to stress about bad hair days. The children don't care if I forgot the hairspray- They see past all that stuff.
I love that I can see the difference that I can make for the kids. (It's even better when the parents show their appreciation by showing up on my doorstep with a coffee for me in hand )
I love that the little people I encounter on a day to day basis don't hold grudges and are so quick to forgive. Children aren't afraid to give you a hug.
I love being home for my own kids. Although they aren't little anymore they still need me. My oldest just started high school and I love that I can be around to hear about her day and to keep the lines of communication open!
Thank you for this thread- it made my day!
