The joy of all things new and beautiful

Today, I was stuck by the "awesomeness" of all things new and beautiful around my children and the family as a whole and the impact of this on us now and in the future.  My awareness of this began on my way home from an afternoon of "personal renewal" while the kids got Daddy to themselves.  I watched a calf nursing and felt warmth throughout my soul.  Life right there in front of me, continuing, while a twing of sadness penetrated my heart as I remembered my own nursing experience that ended only a few weeks ago.  Nevertheless, a smile drifted across my face.  Beauty before my eyes.  So much beauty.  May my eyes always be open to witness it, participate in it, and create it.
