A Beautiful Day
Sometimes it pays to stop and recapture the innocence of youth.
I have been teaching Yoni while he was sick and out from school last week that we should be thankful for the beautiful days we are given. This also helps in teaching the Modeh and the Shema. We had several days in a row of gorgeous weather with sunshine but not too hot and not cold... in short perfect weather to go outside and play at the park and have a picnic - which we did. I would remark on what a beautiful day it was and Yoni would concur.
So we woke up this week to overcast skies, fog and rain, and all around gloomy weather. But my so innocent son was adorable (as he tends to be) and when we opened the door to go outside he commented on what a beautiful day it was. It just served as a reminder that everyday is beautiful especially in the eyes of a child.

YES--cold, damp, foggy--it's still a beautiful day. And, it's great to be able to watch Yoni sitting and enjoying "the water" or really--just watching the water. It reminds me of a child that always knew when we were on the Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge. MY RIVER-YOUR BRIDGE.
Love,
Bubbe
