happiness comes in instant oatmeal packets



this is the pile of oatmeal packets left aside my bathtub by my enchanting six year old daughter.
while i was showering this morning, she held each packet up to the glass in two, small, inky-fingered hands.
help was needed reading the assorted flavors.
decisions had to be made.

and this is why, despite anything, despite everything,
my heart will always be full.
and there will always be happiness.
