Just a thought

Hello readers!

I know that I'm constantly sharing my thoughts with you (hey, it's my job!), but here is a special one I think will make you smile!

Emily and Paula

So, for the past few days, I haven't gotten to spend too much time with my G5 cabin girls; some mornings I help out in the kitchen before breakfast and my co-counselor feeds the horses, so they've been woken up and walked down by counselors from the cabin next door, and I had a night off leading into yesterday as my day off so I just didn't see too much of the girls. This morning, as we were getting ready for the day, one of my girls, Memory, turned to me and said, "I missed you."

"Yeah, I missed you guys, too! Nothing like waking ten girls up at the crack of dawn to get ten showers started and then have ten of you straighten each other's hair!" I joked back. Putting down her hairbrush for a second, Memory turned back to me and said, "I never even thought of all that! Thank you for everything," and continued brushing her hair.

Well, let me tell you...hearing something as sweet as that determined my positive mood for the rest of the day. It isn't always easy living with ten girls who are 12 and 13-years-old, but it is definitely worth it. They are fun, happy, they make me and each other smile and laugh, and I couldn't ask for better campers -- and I know I'm not the only counselor who feels this way!

Memory and Morgan

More soon,
