A Kindred Spirit: This I know

The next earlier A Kindred Spirit is A Recipe - Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Teresa Bell Kindred

My granddaughter is opinionated, can you tell?

Most of us do have our own thoughts and opinions about things. I know I do.

One of my favorite things on NPR is a personal essay they read occasionally written by folks who listen in and take the time to tell them about things they believe in. It's called, "This I know."

So here are a few of the things in life that I am certain of.

No matter how long someone we love lives, when they are gone they leave a hole in our hearts that never completely heals.

Children do not come with instruction manuals and parents will make mistakes. You do the best you can do, pray a lot, and then leave it up to God to do the rest.

Winter is always too long and summers are always too short.

I don't mind aging nearly as much as I mind the maintenance that comes with it.

Any food that is really good for you never tastes as good as foods that are really bad for you.

There's nothing better to lift a woman's spirits than a night (or weekend) out with the girls.

Bliss is a stack of good books, a warm sunny day, a chair next to the surf, my toes in the sand and the ocean before me.

There is no night as long as the one you spend at the hospital holding the hand of friend or loved one.

God is good.

Children are one of the greatest blessings of this life because through them everything old is made new again.

What about you? What do you know for sure is true?
