Unbridled Joy

Sometimes, when my life seems overwhelming, when I feel the gloom over-take me, I look back to moments when I have witnessed joy.   Few moments quite compare with the unbridled  joy of a child. Children do not typically hold back:  They let their eyes glisten and the wonder wash over them.  I’m sharing with you today, by way of giving you some small piece of what keeps me going, the happiness that Nora Wandfluh experienced, when I gave her a Christmas doll in 2010.  Mind you:  I found this doll at Savers for $3.99.  I have to say, I would have paid a thousand times that price to engender this moment.  Thank you, Jennie Taggart Wandfluh and Brett Wandfluh, for allowing me to be Auntie Corinne, such that this moment was possible, and such that I could capture it and hold it in my heart, like a polished piece of crystal, to reflect back your child’s happiness to shine its light on my darker days.
