just bubbles?

Sunday, after a great afternoon of ham and Easter egg hunting, our sweet Owen was playing with his cousin. They were swinging, running and having a great time, when all of a sudden Owen says to Bailee, "Hang on just a minute. I need to go blow some bubbles." Just picture it. Here they are in the middle of doing something that they consider of utmost importance, playing, when he stops in the middle of it all to blow bubbles! His dad and I couldn't get over it! How funny! Then, it started a very interesting conversation.
What if adults behaved in the same way? "Hang on just a minute. I need to pull the car over so I can blow some bubbles." "Hey Boss! I'm gonna take a quick break from all this work. I need to go blow some bubbles." Just picture it!
I know it was just boy outside blowing bubbles, just bubbles. But, what if we went through the day with the mind set of stopping in the chaotic rush we all seem to be in to enjoy something truly delightful?
I know it was just bubbles.
