And So I Was Thankful

I was disappointed that it has started to rain again (it's supposed to be cool and dry this time of the eyar anyway!). But then I realized it helps maintain the nippy weather we've been experiencing so far. And so I was thankful.


I was frustrated that the toddler was so clingy today, and would not let me out of her sight without a howl of protest or trails of tears coursing down her apple cheeks. But then I realized that it only meant she wanted my presence and my hugs, and that the time will come when I will long for these moments. And so I was thankful.


I was irritated that the little girl touched my camera's lens with the tip of her broken papaya leaf stalk/make-believe sword, while I was snapping pictures of her and her sister in the backyard. But then I realized she was just so eager to humor me and pose for pictures, esp. with her en garde pose. And so I was thankful.
