As I braided my daughter’s hair before school the other day, she asked, “Mommy? Do you think I have an exciting life?”
I loved this question.
“I do,” I answered. “Do YOU think so?”
“YES!” She exclaimed enthusiastically. “I have Show and Tell today, and I’m buying snack, and I get to go to CARES after school!”
Life through the eyes of my 7-year-old was certainly worth seeing. Her excitement about simple classroom activities reminded me that the little things in life are things to treasure. The fact that my daughter said she “gets to go” to the afternoon care program instead of saying “I have to go” helped me remember to make the most of what each day brings.
I haven’t blogged in quite a while. I’ve been feeling a bit bogged down by certain things in my life, and I kind of lost my sense of humor.
So here are my thoughts for the day:
Savor the simple things.
Laugh as often as possible.
Keep looking at life through the eyes of a child … It’s pretty magical.
