Moments of joy

Having a toddler in the house again has reminded me of something: pure joy. The emotions of a little one are so pure and uninhibited! The squeals of delight and shrieks of laughter when she sees one of us, or is tossed into the air, or we blow bubbles, or one of many other simple things, is just precious!
