Daily Thoughts

I love little boys. I had a couple of my own. They are so sweet, and cuddly, and try so hard not to be.

My neighbor’s 3 year old g-grandson stays with her on weekends. This week, he’s there three days because the day care is closed. This morning, he was in a ” no” mood. He cried because he didn’t want to go outside, but once he got out there, he laughed and ran and had a great time.

It’s so much fun to watch him. He loves hiding under trees. He’ll walk along the sideewalk, going into every yard that has a tree with hanging branches, and just put his face into it. He especially loves the palm fronds.

It’s been so long since I looked at the world with wonder. You can get pretty jaded by the time you’re my age, after all the trials and tribulations you have to go through. But when you feel that way, you should spend some time around small children. They’ll let you see again what is wondrous in the world.

I love the words to this Lee Ann Womack song:

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you’ll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance.
I hope you dance
