A snack for Sabine

I remember Diana talking at LIFE is Good about getting a request from Hayden late one night for a PB & J sandwich. I don't remember all of the story, but I think it had been a tough day, and she had to make a conscious decision to make the snack with love, not resentment. She said something like, "...no one wants to eat a PB & J that was made by a resentful, angry person..." and likened it to having your food spit in... (ewwwww!).

So last night (it wasn't even late, but it had been a long day) Sabine asks for a snack, "...with a piece of gum, either wrapped or unwrapped, in the center." I'd been running around and was looking forward to just sitting down for a few minutes...breathe...I go downstairs, and unwrap a piece of gum and put it in the center of a plate...then look for things to go with it. Ended up with raspberries (her current favorite fruit), edamame, and multi-colored goldfish. It took all of 2 minutes (if that).

I take it upstairs to her, she looks at it and her face just LIGHTS UP! "Thank you, Mommy!" she says...Ahhhh....LIFE is Good.
