Yesterday as I was at the market surveying the wide array of fresh vegetable possibilities for dinner with friends, I saw the cutest little baby girl. Her hair was wildly out of control, ringlets of golden-blonde in a halo around her sweet little face. And right in the midst of all that innocence was a wide-open, laughing smile. Now who can keep themselves from smiling big in return to such an adorable thing?
The mother of this little angel was so patient and kind to her daughter. She merrily chatted away with the little girl, telling her the names of the fruits and vegetables as she chose the best-of-the-best to take home to nurture the bodies of her family. What a joy to see the strong connection between maman and bebe! It was clear to me that this lucky little girl is very well-loved. I believe that the magic in that little girl’s smile was a clear reflection of love that her mother has for her. I felt blessed just being near them as we all carefully chose the best apples that Washington State has to offer.
That smile will be with me for days to come.
84,000 blessings,
Rebecca
