Have you ever gone through a day and looked at the world through a child's eyes? It could amaze you! Last night, my son decided to freeze some water in a dixie cup. This morning, much to his surprise, the water was frozen and the cup had burst! He was so excited at the change that had occurred overnight!! What a big smile I saw first thing this morning!
And, what about the first snow of the year? Most adults frown and complain at the hassle of snow. My childcare kiddies clap, scream, and make lots of noise at the first snow. They just stare out the window in amazement. How wonderful that would be to appreciate such beauty.
Oh, I cannot forget the garbage truck! We all think about how gross that would be to load up trash and haul it away. I see children stare out the window in total amazement as the trash is compacted (and at the size and sound of the big trash truck).
My point to this post is simple. In 2009, I am going to stop and take the time to look at the world through a child's eye. I want to appreciate everything life has to offer - no matter how big or small.
Love to all,
Gator
