They will devolve into giggle at a mere look and I love that I know what look makes it happen. They may be fuming mad and with one small glance smirks wash across their faces and they choose to forget what what unpleasant. I wish I could master that freedom of will as an adult. A pause button and a new mood, just like that.
I'm beginning to see prayer as an outlet for this. The older I get and more practiced in prayer, the more I see that it alone has the power to free me of the trials of the day and allow me to be more of who I know I can be.
