Now Momma Addey made damn good pancakes, there’s no doubt about that, but there was a secret ingredient in the eating that made them taste like the most delicious fluffy clouds of generosity and sweetness in
the whole wide world, and that ingredient was gratitude.
Caelum and Terra often had dismal prospects in the cupboards of the Grey House, and there definitely wasn’t anyone awake cooking breakfast, so when they got an invitation to join Momma Addey’s breakfast table, their delight was twice magnified.
Now what if you could take that feeling of overwhelming delight, that singular appreciation of something wonderful, and the exuberant gratitude at being given the thing you most need from someone who gave it only out of the kindness of their heart, and what if you could hold that feeling right now, on the tip of your tongue?
Would it be soft like butter? Sweet like the last drop of syrup licked straight off the plate? Would it fill you up with happy tingles like a freshly full belly? Maybe you could even take a drop of that sweet gratitude and keep it with you. Sprinkle it on every lovely thing you see. Everything simple and everything good, and even some of the hard stuff too. I bet it would make your world taste just as divine as Momma Addey’s pancakes.
