A Special Surprise

I've wanted the Vince Gill song 'You and You Alone' for a while now and I got it in the mail the other day. My teenage daughter ordered it for me as a surprise. Very sweet and thoughtful. I'm not the first one who's benefited from her generosity.

I hate to hear people say, "Well you know how teens are" and then insinuate that all teens are rebellious, smart mouthed punks whose only thought is for themselves.

That's a myth. Like Bigfoot. Don't always believe what you hear. And give your teen a hug today. They could be going through things you're unaware of. Doubts. Fears. Emotional wounds that you don't understand. Give a teen the benefit of the doubt.

My kids hang with a solid group of teenagers who are doing the best they can to make sense of a world a bunch of adults have made a mess of.
