A Beautiful Thing


While I was making lunch today, I paused and cocked my head to listen to a strange sound in my house. Silence. I cautiously peeked around bearing in mind my friend Lynne's sage advice: "beware a prolonged silence for you will surely find naughtiness."

Isla was on the sofa, "reading" a magazine and Max was sprawled on the kitchen floor playing Memory. The radio played quietly in the background and it was just a lovely, peaceful moment. I drew as much as I could from it as I knew it wouldn't last but it was a beautiful thing.
