Wisdom

My daughter is wise. I was feeling a little cranky this evening (neighbor gossip for another day!) and I apologized to her, saying I was feeling a little sad and cranky. She said, “I’m going to look into your brain and see why.” A deep sounding concept that she got directly from A Wrinkle In Time. The wisdom came, however, when she said, “Mommy, you are feeling sad because you aren’t taking very good care of yourself lately. Your brain wants you to take better care of your body, then you won’t be sad anymore.” An idea that I’m sure she got from me along the way, but it sounded so wise and so entirely true that I couldn’t help hugging her and thanking her. The neighbor situation put me in a cranky mood, but the food choices I made to curb the cranky mood were really the problem. Hello marshmallow fudge! I told her she was one hundred percent correct and she said, “I know because I looked inside your mind. It was hidden in there.” I love that girl!
