An Odd Moment of Clarity and Contentment

I was just standing in my kitchen, washing down the lovingly combined tastes of nutella, peanut butter and banana, thinking about a recent development in one of my friendships, mulling over the dynamic of my small group, and staring out the window into total blackness, when I noticed that this random plant that my mother has hanging over the sink had a flower on it. Which was random, because I didn't know it could flower. What was really cool though, was that the flower was oozing nectar. There were little droplets of it.

And it smelled amazing.

And I just felt so happy. Standing there, thinking about how incredibly blessed I am by G-D's love, and the friends He's placed in my life. The quietness of life. The joy of the little things, like bananas and flowers and watching people interact with each other, and learning the answer to a question you resolved to never ask, and lists where the things listed start off as single nouns then graduate into full blown sentences. And meta-lists.

Just so content right now.

I'm going to go smell that flower some more.
