"Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk
about three o�clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap."
- Robert Fulghum (All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten) -
I have a confession to make:
I�m not really a grownup. I�m a kid stuck in a middle-aged body; one of life�s cruel jokes.
My inner child is alive and well, which is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Because if it hadn�t, adulthood would have dimmed all that is beautiful and awe-inspiring and wondrous and exciting.
I like to giggle and goof around, and I�m married to a man who is the same way. This is fantastic because two goofballs are better than one.
Even though my childhood was over a long time ago, playtime is still going on.
I still enjoy simple acts that brought me joy as a child.
It doesn�t take much to put a smile on my face; it�s the simple things that make me happy.
Airplanes flying by, the striking colours of a rainbow after a storm, clouds floating in the sky, the vastness of the ocean... I still retain a childlike sense of wonder.
This childlike perspective on the world has certainly made this thing we call life that much more amazing.
Is the kid in you alive and well?
