This morning I was shopping in my favorite grocery store! I actually drive to another state to shop there because sadly, New York does not have everything. Well, it does!!! ( just not near me) so, I drive to CT **sometimes** to do my weekly shopping at-.....can you guess??? Wide aisles, beautiful produce, fresh sourdough bread :)
Today, I saw so many wonderful things
Okay, I didn't actually see this ^ (( but I really wish I had)) :) :) :)
Instead, what I saw, made my heart and soul explode even more.
A mother was shopping with her daughter, who was drooling, not over the food mind you, but because she had no control over the drool. She was pushing the shopping cart with a guiding hand from her mom. She was quiet with brown eyes, reminding me of the middle of the the seed head in an autumn sunflower. Eyes which were wide and watching the people attempting to avoid her.
Her Mother's beautiful sing song voice was floating around us. Like a leaves falling from the tree, it was filled with colorful ideas about everything that was on their list, all the items in the store, and the thoughts of the people they were shopping for this morning. None of us could not help but hear the mom. She was a happy kind of loud with no apparent stress, no anxiety, just a beautiful mother's voice.
We slowed down to help the girl and her mom shop around us. We could not help but see the differences in the daughters gait and facial expressions from our own but like a cool autumn breeze, change had blown through the aisles and colorful moods and expressions attempted to penetrate the sunflower stare.
ALL of us, were shopping with the mother and her flower. Happiness spilled into our carts and our cares and we all began asking the daughter ((and each other)) questions about our list or expressing thoughts about the loved ones we, too, were shopping for this morning.
Everyone blossomed!
Dedicated to my Beautiful Friend, Tiffany :)
