Approaching life through the eyes of a child is just not something we as grown, working, providing adults do. We have a status quo. We can't be so spontaneous, dream big or go and play on a whim.
It was the first canoeing of the year and the kids couldn't wait until daylight the next day. All common sense said, wait until tomorrow, it's too much work, it's too late to go down to the lake. Staring up at me with big brown eyes, excited to do something they'd never done before, they said, "Dad, please let us go on the canoe, please."
Reluctant, and for no good reason, I obliged. I went on a whim, I was spontaneous and we went canoeing at sunset. Of course they/we had a great time, but as in most cases, the one who learned the valuable lesson, was me.
View life through the eyes of a child. Approach life with wonder and amazement. We lose that perfect awareness the older we get.
Cheers
