The simple joys of life

by Crystal Paine

Inspite of turmoil around the world, in our little home there is peace and joy and laughter. Tonight found us all out in our livingroom spontaneously dancing together to classical music.

I guess Kathrynne and Daddy often dance together to a particular CD and tonight we had it playing and she started twirling around in circles. I was a bit surprised and looked at Jesse and he said, "She's dancing like we always do together." I was quite puzzled. You two dance together? It's amazing how many things I miss out on when I leave Kathrynne and Daddy together for a short while!

Since I'd never observed this special Daddy and daughter dancing before, of course they had to show me. Then Kathrynne wanted me to come over and join in the fun. Pretty soon we were laughing so hard that we could hardly dance but everytime we would stop, Kathrynne would wave her arms and try to get us to start up again.

Ah, the simple joys of life. Don't forget to take time to just enjoy your family this week. It's one of the most important things you can do.
