Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2004. Mattie was two years old and that day we walked down to the National Mall. We were right by the reflecting pool! Mattie was checking out the ducks! Spring time was the perfect season to see mama ducks and their ducklings.... a sighting that always caught Mattie's attention! Mattie was eager to point out that they looked just like him and me! I remember these moments in time like they were yesterday! Whenever I see a mother duck and her ducklings now, I can practically hear in my mind Mattie's excitement over this special sighting in nature.

This morning as I was doing one task after the other (before I woke my dad up), I had the radio on. Those of you who have read the blog over the years, know I am a big country music fan. I like this genre because it usually talks about emotions and the human condition. Any case Megan Moroney's "Beautiful Things" came on the radio. If you haven't heard it, it is below. There is a verse in the song that says.....Nothin' 'bout you needs fixin', It ain't what you are, it's what he isn't! I am sure many people who hear this song, and have experienced heartache feel like this song was written for them. But this morning, I most definitely needed to hear this!
