How simple it is for a child to change the whole atmosphere. Just now Kala - the four year old daughter of one of the managers where I work - handed me a piece of Belgium chocolate. Her daddy just returned from a business trip in Belgium and had brought her back the small backpack with these bite size candy bars in it. Abel needed to come into the office this morning so he brought his daughter with him so that they could spend some time together. She decided she wanted to share her candy with the rest of us so she has been running from person to person handing each of us one.
This morning the office has been quiet and professional and as Kala in her too loud voice entered our cubical farm the whole place lightened up and became joyful. As she skipped from cube to cube and made sure everyone saw her new shoes, everything else that was so important just moments ago fell to the way side as everyone focused on the joy and gift from Kala.
