On a plane flight to Atlanta, Georgia, an exceptional event transported me into a special experience of joy.
I was sitting in an exit row on the plane. My attention was taken away from a book I was reading by a little boy, about 2-3 years old, who was extremely restless. He and his mother were seated in the middle section of the airplane. She unbuckled his safety belt and he promptly sat down in an open area in front of the bulkhead.
Delightful to watch ,he was waving his hands and trying to talk. There seemed to be no obvious reason for his excitement but soon it became apparent he had made a wonderful discovery.
Sunbeams of light were shining into the plane's interior through the uncovered windows. The little boy, sitting on the plane's floor, was playing with those sunbeams. As I watched him sitting there, totally unaware of anyone or anything about him, I was captivated by his joy,
the moment he was experiencing. Reaching up into the beams of light with his tiny fingers, he was trying to catch them. Each time he touched the sunlight's rays, he squealed with delight. Then he discovered the particles that floated and danced in the air. He tried to touch them by kissing them. When that didn't work, he then blew on them, giggling as he saw their patterns change. What a wonderful time he had trying to catch the sunbeams, to wind them
around his fingers, kissing and blowing into the air.
This little boy was a wonderful inspiration to me because he didn't know he couldn't catch the bright sunlight. His joy was living the moment. The opportunity to reach out, explore was right then and there and he did just that.
How many of us are willing to seize opportunity? Do you find it hard to quiet yourself, to accept a serendipitous moment and just enjoy it without trying to label or confine it in any way? I will have to plead guilty to not always making it ok to just stop to enjoy the quiet to be spontaneous to be totally joyful about who I am where I am to just be.
Someone wrote this following item on "How To Be Happy", "Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are tried links in the golden chain of contentment." Author Unknown.
If you are having a frustrating time of it, with all of the changes in your life, think of this little boy. This child, though confined in a space on a floor, reached up to grasp sunbeams. He created his own atmosphere and attitude in his world. It didn't make any difference what anyone else thought, he had a wonderful time. His joy touched my world in a wonderful way and I hope it will touch yours. Reach for 'sunbeams' and lighten up your day.

A MOTHER'S DILEMMA
By
Harriet Rukenbrod
Baby's in the cookie jar
Sister's in the glue
Kitty's in the birdie's cage
And I am in a stew!
Time for dad to come to lunch
Someone's spilled the roses
Breakfast dishes still undone
The twins have drippy noses.
Junior has the stove apart
Dinner guests at eight
Neighbors' kids swoop in like flies
How can I concentrate?
Telephone keeps ringing wildly
Someone's in the hall
Fido's chewed the rug to bits
The preacher's come to call!
Would mothers like to chuck their load?
They couldn't stand the rap
Easy, mild existences
Would cause their nerves to snap!

SOMETIMES YOU WONDER
"George is SO forgetful!" the sales manager complained to his secretary.
"It's a wonder he can sell anything. I asked him to pick me up some sandwiches on his way back from lunch and I'm not sure he'll even remember to come back."
Just then the door flew open, and in bounced George. "You'll never guess what happened!" he shouted. While I was at lunch, I met old man Brown who hasn't bought anything from us for five years. Well, we got to talking and he gave me this half-million dollar order!"
"See," sighed the sales manager to his secretary. "I told you he'd forget the sandwiches!"

GOLDEN NUGGETS ~~ True Stories..Real People
This is a personal story that was sent to me recently by a reader of this newsletter. Truth is often more interesting than fiction.
"This is what actually happened to me with what I consider to be a
psychic experience.
I awakened one night to huge flames of fire all around me, around my bed, around my body. I jumped out of bed! I yell at my boyfriend, Red, "The house is on fire! The house is on fire!"
The fire goes out and I smell smoke. I investigate and the smoke is in every room in the house. But now I cannot find any fire or smoke.
I can think of nothing else but that one of my relative's houses is on fire or that it is a premonition. I call my relatives one by one and no one reports a fire.
Although I now live in the State of Washington, as a child I was especially attached to an Iowa farmhouse where I lived for nine years. A year before this experience, while I was vacationing in Iowa visiting relatives, we had walked all around the house, the farm buildings, the hog house, chicken house and barn. One person had bought the house and someone the land. No one was living in the house at the time.
There were still a few chickens in the chicken yard, cows in the barn and hogs near the hog house but nowhere near what we had had when I was a child. Mamma said they were going to tear the house down next summer. I felt sad, almost cried. I took several pictures of the
house.
A year later, when I went back to Iowa, I was visiting Aunt Ruth and Uncle Denny. Aunt Ruth told me about the old farmhouse being burned. I asked her when. From the information she gave me, as near as I can tell, I had the vision of the fire in my house at the same time it was burning.
I think that I was so emotionally attached to the house that I reacted psychically to its' burning although I was clear across the country in Washington State at the time.

A RECIPE FOR MOTHER'S DAY
In today's modern world most of us this upcoming Mother's Day will be going out to dinner. There was a time however, women rarely had that privilege. Women were burdened with heavy housekeeping, cooking, laundry and gardening to feed their families. Can you imagine 'sunning flour whether old or new for freshness; when making bread, beating it for a
half hour, by the clock; gathering vegetables in the early morning while they are covered with dew? Here is a charming recipe that I found in an old recipe book of 1879, titled "Housekeeping in Old Virginia" I thought you would enjoy.
"Resipee For Cukin Kon-Feel Pees"
Gether your pees 'bout sun-down. The folrin day, 'bout leven
o'clock, gowge out your pees with your thum nale, like gowgin out a
man's eye-ball at a kote house. Rense your pees, parbile them, then fry
'em with som several slices uv streekt middlin, incouragin uv gravy to
seep out and intermarry with your pees. When modritly brown, but not
scorcht, empty intoo a dish. Mash 'em gently with a spune, mix with raw tomarters sprinkled with a little brown shugar and the immortal dish arquite ready. Eat a hepe. Eat mo and mo. It is good for your general helth uv mind and body. It fattens you up, makes you sassy, goes throo and throo your very soul. But why don't you eat?
Eat on. By Jings.
Eat. Stop! Never, while thar is a pee in the dish. Mozis Addums
Well, I think I'm going to skip the peas, go out and let someone
else do the cooking (~.~) So much for the good-old-days. Have a
fabulous Mother's Day.
