I sit beside my three year old grandson watching him play Lego Batman. He maneuvers the controls with surprising agility and concentration. Pushing buttons, angling toggles, changing directions and characters, all at warp speed. He asks me to play and I decline. Video games are not my thing, at least none that I have found so far.
Taking one hand off the controls, he continues to play just the same with one. One handed, gesturing wildly with the other, he tries to convince me that I do want to play. I finally ask him if he is going to continue talking to me while he plays. What does he say?
“Indeed I am.” He is too funny.
This is my world right now, not exactly where I expected to be at this point in my life, but it is pretty darn good.
One minute I am wrestling with the dogs, playing video games with my grandson, or teaching him how to cut with scissors. The next I am reading about the Panama Canal and looking at pictures taken today, a thousand miles away. Later on I sit at the computer trying to do a bit of writing and starting to plan for the company coming next month.
And there are other things that fill in the little places so that nothing is left wanting. My heart is full, my eyes twinkling and right now I am strangely content.
