maybe a little energy is returning.
perhaps a little hope.
telling the kids about our friday night power outage became the new story. they were in bed and missed out on all the excitement of rummaging around for candles, headlamps, checking with tenants, preparing for the worst, then full power in just over an our. but the story was so full of excitement, rich in mystery, and prompted a candlelit dinner last night.
that is the beauty of children. simplicity. we don't need crazy movie story lines. ours is crazy enough. and just a smidge of a story can be made into something big and wonderful.
when i listen to those little ones, i am actually helped in my return to simplicity.
