I was in my room doing what I usually do in the early morning (and the rest of the day), reading "stuff" (on my computer), working puzzles (on my computer), posting to my blog (on my computer) and writing to friends (on my computer), when my boss (SWMBO) said "Come here and bring your camera."
I asked my other boss (my computer) if it would be okay if I could leave for a minute.
It seemed to be a bit snarly but granted me permission.
When I went to the living room my wife pointed at the coffee table and ordered me to take a picture of what the morning sun she had just admitted through the front window was doing.
So I did.
The sun was brightening a bouquet of flowers I had brought her a few days before but with three newly-opened lilies.
And her beloved crystal ball, which our daughter has been pining after for years.
She has many of her own now but still yearns for this one and knows she'll get it some day.
In the meantime, it glows in our house when the morning sunshine strikes it.
