Sometimes I will end the day with thoughts that are
important to get out. Usually I just
write them and put them in my journal folder.
I have chosen that on occasion I will share them with you Dear Reader.
Over the weekend my eldest Grandson stayed the night. He is just over two years old. It was wonderful to have some one-on-one time
with him. We made pancakes and had
barbecue. We watched a movie and played
guitar and sang. One of the things I set
out for him was a bowl of green grapes.
After a trip to the bathroom I was walking back into the
living room and he was talking to the grapes.
He was telling the grapes how much he loved them. “I love you geen gapes. Are you tiny and cute? Are you delicious?”
After talking to each grape he would eat it. I was overcome by much each grape mattered to
him. He noticed I was watching and said,
“Thank you for the gapes Ganpa. They are
so good.”
He brought me a grape and insisted that I have one. He always wants me to share grapes with him
when I give them to him. I gave me a
moment to ponder that he is sharing with me something that he values so highly.
I hope that I can learn to value every
morsel of goodness the way he did in that instant. I think my greatest wish would
be to assure that the love and appreciation I saw in those moments always live
in my Grandson and in me.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store."
