So I truly believe children have the key to living a happy life. Everything is so simple and so in the moment. Today in South Texas it snowed. San Antonio shut down...and children of all ages came out to play. We met neighbors today that we have never met before...all over some signs. I had saved some signs from going to the trash at an event and they became the best sleds on the street. We pulled them all out and everyone took turns riding down the street. Pure joy, pure laughter, and pure excitement. I wish we could put moments like these in a nice little bottle for those days when the world seems so dark. We live in a tough time with lots of not so great things going on in the world. But here in San Antonio on Feb. 4, 2011 pure delight was found on a neighborhood street.
If only we could look at every situation with such excitement. Today I GET TO GO TO WORK! Weeeee. Or I cannot wait to clean the house and go to the GROCERY Store! Think of how much happier our lives would be. And the funny thing is, we should feel that way. We are very lucky people to have houses to clean, jobs to go to, and places where we can go and buy food. My challenge to you this week is to look at your world through those child like eyes. Get excited about the normal and be thankful for all the things we have. WEEEEEE I am off to clean my house :)!
