The Simple Joys of Life
Inspired to start my first blog today. Spent an hour trying to figure out how to maneuver the website and here I find myself posting. I chose “Spoonful of Sugah” inspired by the movie Mary Poppins (which I have watched countless times with my 2 little ones). In this stressful world (the medicine) where our country is experiencing war and we are constantly trying to stay afloat in the fast pace of society embedded by an even faster jet stream of technology, most of us yearn for simpler lives. I wanted to create a small place on the net where simplicity and small moments of joy are the focus of a life that goes by so very fast. This is my “Spoonful of Sugah”.
Today my 6 year old has been carrying around our video camera interviewing everyone in the family, including our 2 new little kitties. I’ve witnessed her unabandoned freedom of expression as she’s turned the camera around and so close to her face that you can see every freckle on her nose. She doesn’t make a point to say anything specific yet she sits there with only a portion of her tiny face showing and speaks whatever comes to mind. She has tested out many new sounds screeching at the top of her vocal chords and has chased her older sister around with the camera, screaming, “Just one small interview!” It makes me wonder what kind of career she may find herself in 15 - 20 years from now and I sure hope she doesn’t lose this freedom of expression. For today this is my small joy.
I’m somewhat apprehensive about posting here as I wonder where my words will find themselves 1, 5, 10, 20 years from now. Where is this vast closet that houses the infinite amount of blogs out on the internet? One day when I’ve left this earth, will there be a genealogical file with my name on it which contains my various musings? I wonder what my ancestors would think of this. It’s like creating a life and not really knowing where it will end up. I guess I’ll take my chances.
