My husband and I were home alone last night - quietly eating our dinner. My phone rings and it is my son. He said, "Mom! Can you see the sunset! It's beautiful!" I immediately run to the dining room window. Sadly, I replied, "No, son, I can't see beyond the trees". He shared that it was very beautiful.
I love it when my children have caught onto my delight in the world. I am still in awe of a full moon, clouds rolling by and loud, thunderous storms.
Or the soft morning fog.

I love seeing baby animals, birds and butterflies floating by.
The contentment shown by our adopted cat.

It fills my heart that with all the things we've instilled into our children, one of them is a sense of wonder. A short while later, I was outside with my son's dog - which we've temporarily adopted -
and I look up to see a candy coated sky. Immediately, I call my son - "I see it! The sky is beautiful." We share that moment and more conversation. Making another memory. My son, miles away and me in my garden - viewing the same sky with awe and wonder.
