As soon as I reached the school to pick Joe, she came rushing to show me something that she had covered in the palm of her hand. With all her excitement she said, " Mummmmaaaa Goood Newsssss!!! See what I got..."
She opened her palm and showed a pink hair band and then while clapping her hand she kept jumping on her toes.
And then she went on "You know what mumma... I searched for it so much. .. (rolling her eyes) in the cupboard, in the school bag, under the pillow... uffff... I didn't find it for two daysssss. Today... yes today, I found these in my jeans pocket. I am soooo happppy.. "
With the same enthusiasm, I gave her a high five and said, "Yeahhhh!!!! this is such a greattttt newssss!!!". Pulled her cheeks, hugged her tight, kissed her forehead and said, "Love You."
Most of the times, whats often so important to others are the silliest things for us. I could have just turned her off saying," A pink hair band ??? Just keep it inside Joe. Lets go!" If I had done that, I had failed to understand her small joys, her search for those tiny things that she missed dearly, and her find for her happiness.
How often are we considerate towards others small joys that they share with us? How often do we completely understand all the small need of a person even when your with them all the time? How often do you willingly be part of someones sheer joy of celebration?
