When I was 8 or 9 years old, I used to write short stories. I imagined a collection of stories called, “The Adventures of Judy.” However, as a kid, I thought the sound of cooing parents (“Ahhhhh…”) was spelled “Awe.” When Judy’s baby brother took his first steps, the family exclaimed, “Awe…!” When Judy made a batch of chocolate chip cookies, her parents expressed “awe.” As I look back at those old stories, perhaps I was making an important typo.

How would your family and friend dynamics change if daily joys were noticed with delightful reverence?
