A writing assignment

In my writing group, we were asked to write about something that really makes us happy and that we really love for a Valentine's Day thought.  We were given an Oscar Wilde quote as a stimulus to get us started.  " Keep love in your heart.  A life without it is like a sunless garden where the flowers are dead."  It reminded me of one of Wilde's beautiful stories, "The Selfish Giant".  I won't repeat it here but it is about the power of love - and the little children who brought spring back to the Giant's garden after he had closed them out.  So what makes me happy?  ..the power of the innocence of children.  Their giggles and laughter make me smile and live life through their eyes.  I love to watch them play together and build a make believe world of fun and happiness. This love and connection with each other is the hope for our future.

This is a picture of my granddaughter Caelan and her cousin Greta that I have always loved for the spontaneous affection it shows between them.  It was the holidays and they were playing; they did not know there was a camera focused on them. Maybe Caelan was telling Greta a very important secret in their personal game or maybe she was reaching over to kiss her.  Whichever it was; I love the sweetness between them.
