sweetness

Watching the five and six year olds dance on the village green this morning, I thought just how lucky they were. Surrounded by people who loved them and interested in them enough to encourage them to enjoy dance and other opportunities. Of course the reality is never as picture perfect - as I know personally, with one child who is adopted struggling to find her way, another saddened over her parent's recent separation and another suffering from poor health.

That is life though isn't? We gloss it up at times and treasure the moments where everything is 'picture perfect' and take the strength from that to sustain us on the more tricky parts ahead. That attitude from my experience of living throughout the world seems to be universal!
