Today was such a lovely day! I went for a fun walk with my four year old. I asked him if he thought he could make it all the way to the store and he said, "my body can make it!" It was really cute (or "weally cute"as he would say). I loved his determination. We didn't make it all the way to the store but we made it pretty far.
Sometimes I feel like I am too busy, cleaning, working, planning, cleaning some more. I feel like I get too busy to enjoy these moments with my wee men. It is these small moments that keep me going though. They inspire me and if nothing else they put a big grin on my face, and if I let myself get carried away by the moment, I feel silly like a kid again. I'm not sure there are many things that set the soul soaring like a big innocent smile and a hearty laugh.
So tomorrow go out there and emrbace all of the little things, the quirky thing your kids say, the funny way your dog snores. Laugh at those habits your partner has that drive you nuts or laugh at your own self irritating qualities. Laugh at the irritation in the first place, nevermind the quirk. Just laugh even if you don't want to. Even if it feels ridiculous. Smile and laugh just because it will lift your spirits and anyone who make cross your path.
Come on and just give it a try.
