Simple Joys




Tomorrow I get to play with my grand daughters, Emily and Hannah. It is amazing what I will do just to have time with them. It is forty five miles there and forty five miles back and I think nothing of it. Monday I was their all day by myself and by four o'clock when their father returned I was wiped out. But here I go back and looking forward to it. They bring back the joy of such simple things.

Emily is 21 months old. She loves to swing at the park and while she swings, she says, "Wheeeee!" When I hear her I am filled and complete. What could be better than completely giving yourself over to the simple joys of the moment and just saying wheeeeeeee!

Hannah just turned 4 months and has the most captivating blue gray eyes. She is just starting to interact with those around her. Monday she was making sounds in reponse to me talking to her and smiling back at me. Just that simple droning sound kept me entertained all afternoon. A simple joy of the moment. All I could say was "wheeeeeeeeee!"
