Life is...

   Life is dirty clothes, meals to be cooked, a house to be cleaned. It is laughter and tears. It is kisses from grateful children. It is words like "sirsty" (thirsty) and "Tor" (Thor).  It is quiz bowl practices and piano lessons.  It is essays to grade and lessons to be planned.  It is making changes when changes are necessary. Life is being sleepy. But it is also waking up and getting out of bed a lot sooner than you want. It is snuggles and smiles. It is arguments. It is basking in the wonder of God. It is learning something new. Life is being ready. Life is love.
