my 8 year old neighbor came over - as he often does - for his daily dose of loving attention. i'm ashamed to admit that it's become more common for me to turn him away than to invite him in with loving arms. tonight my home was filled with his contagious laughter as he humiliated me in the card game, war, to which i quickly retaliated with a brutal victory in slap jack. we ate graham crackers, spoke in english, scottish, & irish accents, laughed a lot, and even yelled a few times over who the TRUE winner was.
it was in those moments that i felt truly alive and fully engaged. my dear friend, Donna, recently said, "don't get so focused on your purpose of life that you don't live your life." tonight, i felt what she meant, and it felt FABULOUS!
Life, when fully lived, is truly glorious
