Some Things Just Matter

---

Teacher me…

Can’t tell you how many times a student ran up to her…stood there smiling…waiting…with a look that said…notice something…

So teacher me did…notice something…or tried to notice what they wanted to be noticed…hair cut…lost tooth…glittery eye shadow…it didn’t matter really…what mattered…was to make the child feel special…

And so it was…this old gal was like those kids…that daughter of hers coming to visit…and for some reason mama me hoped she would notice the Pumpkin mug…

The new Pumpkin mug…the new to US Pumpkin mug picked up recently on a grand adventure…feel stupid almost…embarrassed…can’t put a finger on why it was important…but it was…

And guess what…first thing that girl of mine did when coming in the house…asked if she could make a coffee…scanned the collection of mugs…picked one…

And the heart of mama me swelled…because the mug she held…was the Pumpkin mug…

And so it is in life…some things matter…silly things…seemingly unimportant things…can’t say why really…they just do…

And sometimes in life…old gal or not…there may come a time when that child in you just wants to be noticed…feel special…and if you’re lucky enough…

Someone will understand…and agree…
