Blogging about gratitude seems easy, and at times, can be very easy and fill me with a sense of joy, expanse and peace. Then, as anyone with young children knows, things can change in an instant.
The moment that I wanted to capture today comes to me from a visit with friends who also have young children. The four adults were having coffee, hot steaming, wonderful coffee, at the dining room table following a lovely meal with which was clearly lovingly prepared. The adults were talking about life, things that energized them and the coming Christmas celebrations. It was easy conversation which flowed naturally. Close by the four children were giggling (that from the belly, pure, beautifully joyful giggle that only young children can make) and smiling and playing a game of make-believe something. There were engaged with each other, full of laughter and immersed in the moment. It was amazing - to watch and to listen to. At that moment, everyone seemed in harmony and a sense of peace settled over me, not to mention a smile on my face. While the moment did not last as long as I would have wished, it is one I am trying never to forget.
Wishing you much peace this evening - and a great cup of coffee.
