Small Treasures--Big Return by Cricket*11/2009
It's amazing to me how the tiniest evening task can bring so much joy. Tonight my youngest son came home early and when he walked through the door; I jumped up and made dinner. I prepared nothing too special: sirloin patty, baked potato, & corn. We sat and we ate together, engaging in small talk and discussing the day’s events and as we charted our course for the day ahead tomorrow. I found myself absorbed in the warmth of an all encompassing love and joy. I felt that tiny ever expanding emotion welling up inside of me that causes me to realize that this experience is all that I've ever wanted out of life and that on this day; I have been truly blessed. There is no thing better to me than these simple, but bountiful moments in time.
