To Simply Notice

I get up make coffee for my 91 year old mother and myself. I remind her to take her daily medication. She smiles looks out the window, it's late October the sun is shinning. She says isn't it amazing, at this age I've finally found the time to look out the window and see so much beauty in the fall colors of the turning Maple leaves. I look, seeing them also, smile and am grateful for the beauty of my 91 year old mother sitting with me here in the fall of her life. We sip our coffee. I am glad we both have noticed.
