Today I made 8 dozen cookies. It is that festive time of year when the sharing of sweet things brings people together and creates a sense of community - share and share alike. Never having made 8 dozen cookies in a single baking session before, I was not confident in my ability to pull it off. My two darlings were playing, running around and occasionally coming to "help" - insert your own image here!
While I was making cookies for tomorrow's cookie exchange there was a small moment of quiet and peace that came upon me. I was in the hum of rolling cookies and dipping them in sugar and feeling rather efficient. There was a sense of quiet that came over my mind and a realization that things change fast, the world never stops moving and my darling daughters are growing up right before my eyes. I felt grateful for the chance to be in the present moment taking in everything that was happening around me and inside of me. The realization that life moves too fast, that change is constant, that I am loved and that I am able to love deeply. So today I am grateful for cookies and the chance to taste the sweetness of life.
