No high dollar adventures, small pleasures suit me fine, like today when my son, Gavin came upstairs and said he was going for a walk and asked if I'd like to go with him. It took me less than a second to say yes. I quickly changed my shoes and off we went down the old rock road. Our dog , Maggie doodle trailing happily behind.
The sky overhead a beautiful blue, the April sun warm against our still wintery, pale white skin. I thought about long ago years, that don't seem so long ago, when my son and I spent hours together sharing, and playing with Fisher-Price Litte People , Disney characters, and Ninja Turtles. Throwing the ball back and forth. Reading books and coloring books.
Gavin is no longer a little boy , and has his own view of a grown up world , busy with life and work and love, but happy am I on our afternoon walk as he tells me about his hopes and scope of future dreams. I listen , and my heart smiles as he talks of possibility and his goals to achieve.

It doesn't get any better than this, Kath, to share such special time ....
