One afternoon, a few days after Santiago's birthday party, Santiago and I were in the garden talking. He was telling me about how sad he was that it had rained on his birthday. I told him about the belief in our culture that when it rains on a special day, it is actually good luck and a blessing from the heavens. He smiled but I could tell he was still frustrated.
Then we started weeding the garden and oh...my God, what do we see...many "treboles" (clovers) but there was something special about them...they had FOUR LEAVES!! and even some of them had FIVE LEAVES. Santiago's face lit up with excitment and then it was of course very obvious!!
We are soo lucky!!
Lucky to be with one another in this journey!
Lucky for the love we feel for each other
Lucky to have a family who loves us just the way we are.
Lucky for our guardian angels who are constantly lighting our path and taking us just where we need to be to love and help one another.
Lucky to be alive in such an exciting time in history, when love is strong and people are realizing how powerful we are!
Then his sadness and frustration turned into gratitude.
Thank you rain for falling on our garden that gives us so much joy!
Thank you for teaching us that everythin happens for a reason and even though sometimes we don't understand why sad things happen...it is all part of a Divine plan.
Thank you for letting us see the perfection in every flower, in every moment!
Thank you for the sweet fragrance of the lavender, the roses and the jasmins.
We love breathing in God's gifts.
Thank you for allowing us to savor the most delicious fruits and successes!
And now, time to use those carefully whittled sticks to make ...smores of course!!
