Kirstin walked up to me with this great big smile on her face and a box that she placed down on the table beside me.
"Mommy" she said "what goes in this box?"
"I don't know Kirstin!!" I replied in a quite irritated tone.
(when I bought the box it was empty)
"NOTHING" I mumbled under my breath as I tried to cover myself back up and continue on my quest to find peace of mind (which was not working BTW).
She slowly turned to the box, as a smile grew across her face from check to check, her eyes widened with a sparkle and with her remarkable 4 year old mind she said "ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, can go in this box!"
At that very second Kirstin imagined all the limitless possibilities for this one simple box that I had lost hope in.
I looked at her and was in awe of this amazing positive shinning light in my life.

Sometimes it's the simple things. I forget that a lot.
Love this! How sweet! :) Hope you get some rest....
I relate to this on so many levels...irritated tone, trying to rest, chaos...
And then the innocent sound of a 4 year old. The innocent mind that has no limits.
Anything and everything.
It's all possible.
