Just Playing

Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today…

Being around small children is a joy! I had the pleasure over the weekend to spend time with two little girls. We played on the swings, swiveled our hips with hoola hoops and enjoyed our snack of strawberries and chocolate covered pistachios.

The older girl wanted to learn how to draw. We sat together and I showed her how to look at and sketch a flower. Then all three of us spent time coloring our butterfly and bird drawings.

The rest of the adults sat nearby, chatting as the girls and I were engrossed in our play time. I invited them to come and swim at our pool. Their parents thanked me, thinking I was offering them a favor, when the fact is having them around does as much for me as it does for them.

When was the last time you just lost track of time and played? Children know how to have fun, something us adults sometimes forget.

Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
