And so in the midst of the chaos and stress and evolving and closing of doors and opening of new ones, I had an absolute perfect moment this evening.  I'm talking about that PURE PERFECTION found only in those precious small captured moments that truly make life worth living.

So you see John and I live in this neighborhood, this funny little suburban neighborhood which amazes me and entertains me enough that I'm willing to pay full price for admission.  I sit back most of the time and watch munching on my popcorn and drinking my overpriced suburban latte... (I NEVER drink lattes.)  Or I listen as the stories are passed from street light to street light, on rare occasions like tonight adding my own spice to the boiling pot of stew.  But tonight... tonight I was included in the most abundance source of love and light in this crazy neighborhood of mine where positive exchange is rarely the norm.

I was outside looking for cats as is the never-ending story come night fall around here.  Yelling, voice echoes, standing outside in the middle of a few other families not as worried, but enjoying the closing of summer days along with their children and dogs running back and forth greeting each other when the two four year old girls up the street see their other four year old friend down the street and shriek with joy.  Yes, my space is in the midst of these three precious little princesses. 

My favorite part of the day is when family "A" travels up to visit with family "B" and these sweet little girls pass by on their visits to their bestest friend.  Little "A" and I are somewhat friends ourselves and have shared moments making things on our own play date, so you see... we are friends.  She always passes by yelling out, "Hi Nikole!" and proceeds to tell me exactly what is going on and where she's going and it's all very very important which yes I know and understand completely!!! 

Well, recently Little "C" has added to the mix living across from Little "B," and I now have a complete set of ABC's to sit back and adore. 

This evening Little “B” and “C” ran down to greet Little “A” as I sat back and observed the meeting on the sidewalk at the edge of my yard, and the three then proceeded to walk back up the street passing me.  Well when Little "A" saw me she yelled out the usual greeting, "Hi Nikole!" and ran up to me where I squatted down so that my knees were fully bent and my bum touched the ground to find myself in the sweetest little embrace from this little angel from above. 

Being a perfect string of beads, Little "B" followed suit and took her turn to give me a hugg as well.  And then Little "A" introduced "C" to me and instead of the formal, lets shake hands it's nice to meet you... I got my third hugg in a row from my newly added angel Little "C."

Three little angels of love, so dear and precious to my heart, spreading the love.

If they only knew how wonder filled they could make a person feel... full to the point of spilling over simply by being themselves.
