She's my charge in the afternoons. Her black eyes take in every nuance. Delight lies in the little things...
-wind knocking leaves off tree
-thump of acorn falling on concrete
-drone of airplane
-the sound of her little shoes tapping the concrete as she learns to walk
-her body sinking into the thick blanket of grass that is her front lawn
-cackling of birds
-wet kisses from her dogs
-strains of music coming from my phone
-the rocking of the swing at the park
Everything is a source of wonder. At 23, I take those occurences for granted. I'm thankful that each day this little darling teaches me something about life, enjoying the moment, and seeing the world through the eyes of a child.
"Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Luke 18:17

I agree, Kariss. I'm thankful for seeing the world through a baby's eyes, like watching a baby explore the world and the people of a supermarket. Reminds me of a whole different perspective.
