Every day is full of magic and beauty. We just need eyes to see it. Ears to hear it and a heart to feel it.

Every working day at noon I buy take-away soup for my child from a cafeteria in a business center down town, where I work (o.k., o.k. I am not the does-it-all-full-time- working- parent, and not even aspiring to). The lady who serves the food behind the counter is in her mid twenties, blue eyes, fair hair, with beautiful actress like hands, and an irresistible smile when she asks for “would you like to try some of our pumpkin – pie today”.

Yesterday I noticed her training a colleague:

–        Are you preparing your replacement for an up-coming summer vacation?, I asked.

–        It’s for more than a vacation, she responds with her irresistible smile, which is now even more feminine and sweeter, a real poppy-like smile.

It makes me look for a reason for such a blossoming transformation…. . My eyes search for it behind the counter and here it is –  I see her gorgeous timidly showing baby bump!

Hello, baby! You’ll definitely get your beautiful smile from your mother as she is blessing the world with it every day.

On my agenda: get this lady a present, to thank her for letting me have everyday a soup enriched with the fragrance with a poppy- like smile.

Every day is full of magic and beauty. We just need eyes to see it. Ears to hear it and a heart to feel it.
