colors
This isn't Facebook worthy, but it's something I want to remember and thought this was a good place to make a little bookmark about this moment in time. I was sitting on the couch with Violet, the three year old I nanny for, and Phaea (FiFi), their dog, and the dog was looking out the window at seemingly nothing, wagging her tail. Violet and I proceeded to have this exchange:
"My, FiFi is really excited. What do you think she sees, Violet?"
[Turning around to get a good look outside] "Oh my goodness! She must see all the COLORS! Look at all the colors, Randi!!!"
I sat there kinda agog. I felt very old. I didn't see colors, I saw kinda a bleary, winters day. I think I need to find some kid inside of me and appreciate the shades of wonder in the world around me a little bit more.
Cliche? Yeah. But it's become a cliche for a reason, right?
