Sunday Snapshot: Easter in the Park

We spent our second Easter in the city at our friends annual brunch and egg hunt in the city. While dads hid eggs in a local park, moms walked a crew of about 20 excited kids across streets and city blocks to the little corner of the park where eggs hid awaiting their discovery by little hands.
While I stood there watching my daughter run about with her friends and tiptoe through the flowers, I thought about how nice it was to have a bit of the familiar. For the last two years, we have lived in the same city and country. And that has been ... well...refreshing and comfortable.

For my daughter, I am just filled with that joy a mom feels when her daughter has a really good friend who makes her laugh, treats her with kindness and who just loves her for being her. That is her little friend, Isabella. How grateful I am for that.
So, I captured a few pictures while my mind was wandering nostalgically over the last two years here in the city. It has been a really really great experience. And right now, I am not sure where we will be next Easter. And because of that, we really soaked in each moment. We have been doing that a lot lately. Not wanting to waste any moments, any memories or miss out on any great places here in the city, we are making the most of every moment.

Transition certainly isn't easy, but there is always the richness you can gain when you don't take your time for granted. So, whether egg hunting in a little city park in Harlem or visiting Starry Starry Night at the MOMA or just sitting in my Brooklyn apartment listening to the spring rain saturate our street, I am going to soak in each moment ... so much better than wasting away time waiting for the future...

Besides, this present is pretty incredible...no matter where it is...in the city, the country, the island life or the Queen's country...
