Paige grabbed my dress and whispered 

"Mommy!    Say goodbye to the angels..." 

as I started to leave the room. I looked up and replied 

"Oh yes, how pretty!" 

and showed her a painting up on the opposite wall. 

She shook her head and said as she pointed to the couch 

"Not that angel, those angels right there." 

I sat still, took a photo, smiled at her and left the room. 

The next day I got the film back....

Only when your consciousness
is totally focused on the moment
you are in can you receive
whatever gift, lesson, or delight
that moment has to offer.
