Iris these days i’m not so hard to please. probably because of other things that (thankfully) provide so much contrast to what i’m blessed with.
like an adorable little girl who loves to pose for the camera…
who can also manage to lift a 2lbs dslr and take a photo…
and whose simple joy is to watch fireworks even from afar, whether from our 3rd floor bedroom window or atop the car in a parking lot hundreds of meters too far away.
i was so disappointed that we didn’t get to watch the world pyro olympics at MOA up close and that it took us more than an hour to get there, and that i had to walk a gazillion miles to buy food, and that our view was conveniently blocked by a bunch of trees.
but the way her face lit up with each colorful explosion, the way she squealed with delight at the big and small sparkles, the way she pointed at each one, i ought to have been ashamed of myself for missing the beauty of the simplest of things.
really, if you have trouble appreciating things around you because of problems or work, try sitting with a child. it never fails.
what simple thing did you appreciate this week?
