Stories don't just Stop with You


Love you AlphaSmart (thanks PhotoBucket)

I have this awesome device called and AlphaSmart Dana

See it right there? I love it!

I use it when my kids are on my computer, when I have to carpool and am stuck in the car for an hour, and when my lappy isn’t working (my charger broke down and am without it for a week! A week! Ack!)

Well, the best thing happened today when I hit that power button on my AlphaSmart. I found a story, I hadn’t written. My son had.

The best feeling is seeing your children grasp on to something you hold close to your heart. When I saw his story, I couldn’t help my heart feeling full (and the smile wouldn’t wipe off my face for hours).

What about you? Have you had any unexpected surprises happen from doing the things that you love?

...walked in on my son, who was not only using my laptop, (he has his own,) but was reading the rough draft of my latest story.

He looks up, offers me a smirk, then says, "Dad, this is your best story so far. It's really good."

That was my feel-good moment of the week ;)

I love it when someone gets excited about my stories.
