Cereal

For a while now there has been a bag of Cinnamon Life cereal on our kitchen counter. I don’t know why it’s there or whose it was, but it is there. Similarly, life has a lot of complications. No matter what, everything will change in some way, sometime or another. There’s always so much going on in life. At first, the cereal was quite a nuisance. But this morning, when I looked at it, I smiled. It’s the one thing that’s always there. It never changes, and never moves (for the time being anyway). It reminds me to enjoy life wile we have it, because I know that eventually even that will change. So I need to enjoy it’s presence while it’s still there.

...SEVERAL DAYS LATER...


         It’s gone. The bag of cereal is gone. I don't know where it went. I kinda miss it. But somehow, it feels like it’s still there, even though it isn’t. I know this sounds stupid, but it’s still in my heart.
