The real dessert of life is in the collection of the simple. Contentment comes to you when you preserve simplicity. So today, to illustrate my point, all I want to do is list my top 10 fave things to do with my three year-old, Sadie. That’s you! (in random order)
1) Lie on our egg crate foam mattress in our driveway on a sky-blue and clouds-puffy-and-white day, looking up.
2) Nestle in the bed, embracing, sometimes falling asleep….What we call, “loves and cuddles”
3) Create something yummy in the kitchen
4) Popcorn, movies, blankets, dark
5) Driving and story-telling/Driving and singing/Driving and Jesus
6) Treat you to a dollar store or grocery store $1 prize at a moment’s notice and watch your face light up
7) Paint, color and draw
8) Read books
9) Sleep in a tent
10) Dance in the house with the music blasting
Those are just off the top of my head, but I’m going to refuse to complicate things and just leave it alone. Not over-analyze. Not scratch one off the list because “Ooh, another really good one just popped in my head!” Not rethink or reorder. Just leave it like it is. Sigh. I am simply blessed.
Good-night!
