joy in the simple.
I love seeing how excited my kids get over such little and seemingly trivial things; wearing rubber boots, finding hidden eggs, popping floating bubbles. They are both genuinely enthusiastic about so many things. A fresh bowl of popcorn and a rented movie is enough to make them skyrocket into bouts of laughter and anticipation. I know that I need to follow in their footsteps in so many ways, but lately I've been feeling like this is one of them...finding joy in everyday activities (even *gasp* doing the laundry).
one great quote...
"whenever i get gloomy with the state of the world, i think of the arrivals gate at heathrow airport. general opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, i don't see that. seems to me that love is everywhere. often it's not articularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there. fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, i have reason to believe that none of the calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love. if you look for it, i've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." -Love Actually
