Nothing is more wonderful to me than to hear children laughing. I got a double dose yesterday as I picked up my granddaughter Cora and took her and Olivia to play. From the moment they were buckled in their car seats, they began to giggle. I heard 2 year old Cora say, "Livia, you Sweetie you", and then Olivia burst into uncontrollable laughter. Back and forth they went.
I thought, "I am enjoying a scene in my movie that is perfect in every way" and I expressed great appreciation.
Then I got a triple dose of magic. All three of my sons, my grandaughters and I went to the pool. We were too early, so we played in the park. The second most wonderful thing is to hear adults at play laughing, especially when it is my boys! They made it pure magic for the girls, and had fun themselves.
Then we played in the pool - and had it all to ourselves for an hour. We are all water babies. This scene was missing only one detail to make it complete.....my daughter.
On the way home the girls asked who was in the car ahead. I said, "Two of them are Daddy's to two of you, and one of them is an uncle to both." Olivia thought a second and announced, "Uncle Dustin". Then she added, "He is the luckiest uncle of all."
He would agree. Later, my 6 foot plus boys said how a few years ago they could never have imagined having more fun at the park being kids with their kids than at the parties they loved to go to.
Usually, it is the discomfort that reminds me to follow the clues to where I hid my power so that I could experience limitation.....which reminds me to express appreciation for the details. This time, it was the joy that got my attention and made my heart burst with appreciation.
I came to this hologram to experience motherhood and yesterday, I had a full cup of joy with the great actors who play my kids. I plan to have many more fun adventures with them.
