Living alone, I use the microwave quite a bit since I often have to reheat food. I get frustrated because the food in the center of the dish rarely gets as warm as it needs to be.
Recently I noticed my daughter-in-law had some beautiful bowls that were wider and had more surface for the food to be more evenly distributed. I decided to splurge and look for a couple of bowls. Well, they only come in sets of six. I thought I really don’t need six bowls, but then decided, screw it, I’m buying a set.
I have to say I was so excited when I opened the box and saw six of the most beautiful bowls. They are bold, rainbow colors. Every time I open my cupboard I get a jolt of joy. They are just bowls, yet they bring me so much joy by simply being so beautiful. Yes, there are six of them, but I rotate them. Just like in my artwork, I don’t want any of the colors to feel left out. 😂
Sometimes it’s the simplest of things that bring the most joy. Those bowls remind me to pay attention to, and appreciate, the little things in life.
