Mountains out of Mole Hills


    A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.  ~Bill Vaughan

   Their is no better joy, than watching a child explore and discover new things. A hill becomes a mountain that must be hiked, conquered, and summitted; only to roll or sled back to the bottom repeatedly. Trash becomes a craft project. An old tree or bush, becomes a secret clubhouse. The wonders of this world are endless.

    Kisses heal all boo-boos and a case of the giggles brings pure happiness. Disappointments are short lived and pain never lasts long. The excitement of a child is contagious and definitely worth catching. The purity and innocence of a child is a wonderful gift. Watch a baby realize for the first time they have a hand, or if they throw something it falls and makes a noise. Toddlers have pure joy when they learn to toss a ball. Remember when you learned to ride a bike, the pure thrill?

    Take some time each day to find your inner child and bask in the warm feelings. Look at something mundane with the eyes of a child and recapture the wonder and awe.  Roll down a hill or jump in a puddle.
