Perspective

If I’m honest, yesterday wasn’t in my ‘top 10′.  You know those days when everything you touch turns to gold?  Well, this was the OPPOSITE of that.  Everything I touched took longer than I anticipated, required extra steps, was more complicated, crumbled between my fingers or generally seemed to be a bit disastrous.

Until this.

These two small people fight like any other siblings.  At the moment, they are prone to bellow, ‘That’s NOT FAIR!”…. make a beeline to me to tattle, whine or suddenly burst in to tears.

But sometimes, and possibly more often than I deserve, they do this:  they smack me in the face with their goodness.

This picture captures just such an instance.  Cooper received a card for his birthday and Delaney instantly offered to read it to him.

I do so love them.  For their kind hearts.

And the perspective they offer me on a daily basis.
