The most beautiful moments I have had the privilege to experience in my life have also commonly been the most simple. There are countless to recall, but one that sticks out to me is the sparkle in young children’s eyes and the enthusiasm they bring every day. I am currently subbing at the local elementary school and so am surrounded by swarms of little kids. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy being around kids until I saw how full of life and wonder they are, helping me to see even more beauty in daily life.
