In Perspective

When Rachael was very, very little, she got a hold of my recipe book and drew in it. For some reason, this was a big deal to me at the time.

About a day or so later, it was no big deal.

About a week after that, it kind of made me smile. And shortly after that, it grew into one of those things that I looked back on with fondness.

Since then, I've often thought about it, and how some things that might seem like such a big deal at the moment, may take on a whole new meaning as time passes.

Sometimes I open up the recipe book just to look at Rachael's picture- and it still makes me smile.
