I hope not. I've gotten out of routine of updating this blog post things but am trying to get back into the swing of things. Visiting family and friends in the city this week before heading back to school land next week. It's nice to be around family. It's alarming sometimes how quickly kiddies grow up. I was talking with my niece and telling her about when she was 2. And as she puts it, that was a long time ago. (She's four now, but I guess from her perspective that was half a life time ago).
So, I love giving gifts. Gifts that meet the person's desire precisely or fulfills a need. Usually, I don't expect it to be reciprocate. And this year I was kind of blown out of the water with an awesome gift. It's delicious to be surprised. So surprised that all you can say is, thank you. thank you. thank you. I hope I will continued to be filled with thanksgiving even after the gift is old and has lost its luster. It's a good habit to practice gratitude.
Being around my nephew reminds me to rejoice over the simple things. He constantly has a smile on. And we celebrate all things-- from a song being sung, to dinner being served, to having a poo. (And yes, usually in that order... sorry, couldn't resist). His gleeful laughter fills the house and makes us all laugh too. Maybe he's onto something. Oh here he comes, better go play and giggle with him. Happy 2010.
