Lucia is our third child of four and a twin. She is a wonderful, little ball of energy who seldom sits still, has little attention span and loves the great outdoors. This, for me, is such a beautiful picture as it captured a moment of calm (a rarity!!). She picked two daisies (has to be two of everything!) and stared intently at them, saying 'wow' as she twirled them between her fingers alternately. She finds wonder in the simplest of things and I wish I could see the world through her eyes (unspoiled and full of possibility) just for a day. To be simply happy, must be a joy indeed. I am simply happy that this wee girl picked me for her mum. Days like this erase all the trying times and remind me to stop and smell the roses or, in Lucia's case, to look at the daisies.
