Last week I came out the backdoor on an unseasonably warm day. We just came off a few pretty cold days. I spotted something buzzing to the left of my eye. I looked up to the left and there they were....ladybugs! Some people might immediately think they're an insect and be repulsed. Maybe kill them so they don't get into their house. Not me! I smiled at them. There were at least 30 red, magical bugs moving about and one flew on my hand. I was immediately taken back to childhood...I must count the spots to figure out the age. I talked to the little bug. I told her she is pretty and so sweet to have come to my home. I looked to the sky. I thought of my Great Grandparents and I say I am lucky. Things may not be as I hoped exactly but, I do have a lot to be thankful for.
Life can bring tragedy on our doorstep at anytime. It is part of a life's cycle. However savoring the littlest things can bring unexpected joy for a day or a moment and sometimes when you unexpectedly need it.
