I found my daughter's wand by my car on our driveway. I saw it when the kids and i were waiting for their bus. We quieted our lives down for a little while (15 min waiting for the bus). it was just us. no crankiness, no bills, no expectations,no arguements with others, no tv, no worries, no stress from school or home, no attitudes. it was just us, quietly enjoying each other and the little white snowy world around us. it was so peaceful that we could look down and see this little tiny thing in the snow.
