I set out last week to make an apple pie. I ended up buying a frozen one. Sometimes, you have to take your pie any way you can get it. Even though I did not make the pie, I will gladly have some pie. I do take pleasure in making things come to fruition. There is joy in delighting in the simple things, like eating a warm pie from the oven, on a brisk evening, after work.
It is not even about the pie. I get to enjoy it with family. I am truly grateful that I have food and even dessert. The smell is wafting from the kitchen. Hopefully, my kids will have wonderful memories of us having a warm apple pie from the oven, no matter who made it.
