A random encounter today led to someone saying " the day you were born, you were a gift to the world, and you are a gift every day" or something to that effect. - whatever he said seemed a heartfelt wish to give random encouragement, and I don't know many people who do NOT need random encouragement!
It made me think of the sheer joy of having my newborn babies, and a reminder that though life with each of them has had some frustrations (ok, 2 of them, the third is basically an angel
![Rolling my eyes. Rolling my eyes.](/i/s/rolleyes.gif)
) they also gave me so much joy.
