The Best Things in Life

It is crazy to think that your favorite "hairdresser" is a one year old, who loves to mess it up, or your favorite "back massage" is another one year old climbing onto you and laughing as they wrestle and loving it when you tickle them-laughing the best deep belly laugh ever, or the thing you get most excited about is a child's first smile or steps and to think this is what brings you the most joy in life. As I have been blessed to be a part of my Aunt and Uncle's lives and their triplets, I have began to realize that it is the most simple things in life- the things we so often overlook- that are the greatest things in life! I have loved being able to watch each stage of development over this past year and learn again the joys in the wonder of learning something new. Just watching their faces light up as they first learned to roll over, or sit up, or stand up and now as one of them is beginning to learn to walk, it reminds me again how often we miss out on the simple things in life because we are so busy trying to discover something new, or better or bigger.The best times in life is not in the things you do, but with the people who mean the world to you and the memories that are made doing the "simple" things. I think this past year as taught me that the best thing in life is the joy in the simple discoveries that each day brings- as long as you have your eyes open to see them!
