There is a saying that opportunity doesn’t knock at your door and announces itself. Well, it is the opposite when it comes to pleasure. Pleasure is the one thing that knocks all the time. We just need to open the door.
There is not one of us who doesn't experience the simple pleasures that life brings us: the taste of a delicious meal, the sight of a beautiful sunrise or sunset, the feel of the warm sun on our skin, oh yes, and the love for our family.
At first, the love for our parents, then our siblings, and later in the years, our partners, and then those adorable children.
I am convinced that most of you will agree with me that children are truly precious and invaluable members of our society. Their innocence, boundless enthusiasm, curiosity, and endless energy are constant sources of joy, inspiration, and pleasure.
I never wanted my own children, yet I adored kids and was always babysitting the kids of family and family friends. It was only when my son was born that I truly experienced love for children. I was hooked.
Make no mistake, I didn’t want a cricket or football team of my own. No, I only wanted my own two and to enjoy the children of others.
It was with a pair of fresh eyes that I started to see the world in a completely different manner.
I became a Sunday school teacher, helped with Scouts, and became a cricket umpire. And that was also when I discovered what a pleasure life is for me… children.
The laughter of children always filled our home, as there were always kids sleeping over.
Then my children grew up, and so did their friends. I was also no longer involved with the children at school or Sunday school. I had a new friend, my camera.
Although I love taking landscape photos, I soon found myself looking for feelings and expressions in the faces of kids and their body language taking photos that they are not aware of.
Now I am a granny, the biggest gift I could have asked for. Through my grandchildren, I have learned that children not only have the ability to brighten our moods and fill our hearts, but they also carry hope and the start of a new beginning.
I'm sure that you will agree with me that in a world that can sometimes feel jaded and cold, it is them that are our most precious commodity. The change our lives!
I still find it a pleasure to take those photos. Photos that they don’t know that I am taking. Now that they are bigger, it often goes with that “Ag ouma!’’ (Awh granny) but in the same breath, they ask me to send the photos to them.
Another person who found pleasure in children was Nelson Mandela. I will never forget his following words. “History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.”

Leer tu post me ha causado placer.
Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo los niños dan a nuestras vidas un significado diferente. Nos dan razones para volar con ellos en su mundo, pero con nuestros pies sobre la tierra.
Ser madre, me hizo conocer habilidades que no sabía. Eso sí, me esforcé al máximo para darles dirección. Tal como dice el Entrenador en su Santa Palabra en el salmos 127.
Espero tener nietos, para seguir disfrutando de este gran privilegio.
Agradecida mi estimada de poder leer tu entrada.
Éxitos en la competencia 🙋🏻

Well, my friend, if you think your children made you fly in their world, wait until you get those grandchildren. Oh my word! You don't just fly with them; you also crawl with them. (•ิ‿•ิ) You will do anything for them and with them.

Every person's pleasure is different, we are the ones who create it and even simple pleasures can be pleasure. What we need to do is always be grateful and enjoy it.
You are right ma'am, children are endless joy and happiness, they are the source of happiness and enthusiasm for our lives. I don't need to look for fun outside the house, because that fun is in our children. Thank you ma'am for the invitation, I hope beautiful things and blessings are always with you😇.

Usted disfruto sus pequeños, pero mejor aún también disfruta de aquellas vocecitas hermosas que la llaman abuela, Es hermoso este post que transmite amor. Me alegra que esos pequeños momentos junto a ellos generan placer y felicidad, un gran abrazo y muchos éxitos para usted. Hermosas fotos.

Yes, we totally agree with you that we have many relationships with whom we are very attached and if even one of them leaves our life, we would be very sad. And the lack of this relationship is the lack of any other relationship in my entire life. I couldn't believe he was gone because he was closer to me than all the relationships I lost and he was my father. I love him so much . And same way you love your children so much. I really appreciate your post . Giving you a best of luck

I totally agree with you because it has become difficult for us people to even think about how we are going to live without our mother because when her health deteriorates, there are many whispers in the mind. May Allah give long life to the mother of our people and grant her a healthy life and may she see the happiness of our people more and we may see their happiness.

Es un placer leerte, el placer es lo único que llama a la puerta. Comer, la vista de un atardecer o amanecer, la calidez del Sol que acaricia nuestra piel y el amor de nuestra familia, son los grandes placeres de la vida.
El nacimiento de un hijo revela una experiencia de amor sin igual que revoluciona nuestras expectativas de ver el mundo. Y los nietos representan un renacer de sensaciones que alegran nuestro corazón y alimentan nuestras esperanzas en un futuro mejor.
Gracias por compartir, ¡feliz y venturoso días!

Mi querida patjewell así como para ti te da placer los niños a mi me place leer tus publicaciones de verdad las disfruto mucho.
Sabes no tuve la dicha de tener hijos pero amo mucho a mis sobrinas y sobrinos y a los niños de mis amigos.
De verdad que tener un niño en casa es la alegría de un hogar que bueno Dios te dió ese regalo la biblia dice que los "hijos son una herencia de parte de Dios" creo el mejor regalo que Dios le puede dar a una persona así como la dicha de ser abuelo.
Tus hijos y nietos son hermosos y de verdad subiste capturar el momento con esas tomas.
Un gran abrazo para todos.

Hello, my beautiful friend!
I remember you telling me about the fact that you had no children. I am sure that the children in your life have special places in your heart. Best of all, you can give them back to their parents when you have enough. That is the beauty of being a grandmother.
I must let them hear what I have just said, or I will be in big trouble. (•ิ‿•ิ)
I absolutely LOVE taking photos when they don't know.
We often have some good laughs when we re-look them.
Thank you for the visit, the nice comment, and the big hug. (づ๑•ᴗ•๑)づꕤ
