carousel

today I taught my son how to draw a straight line with a ruler. I watched him holding the pencil a bit too tight, his eyes widening with excitement. I watched him and I realized with a sense of awe and meaning for life. all the small, ordinary little things that he's learned from me.

It's all the small and ordinary things you teach them that will make them good men.

What a lovely carousel! And isn't it all the small, ordinary things that really make up our lives?

Beautiful photo, Irene. The sum of all the small, ordinary ordinary things is greater than we can imagine or hold in our hearts as mothers.

Hi,

Though it was a very simple incident, it was very touching.

Simple and small things matter so much to us in our lives. But we often take so many of them for granted.

Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

The snap looks priceless.
