My grandchildren have been staying with us. My daughter has moved back from Holland to England. They haven’t seen her for a while.
Today we are taking them back to my daughter and they will see their new house.
My granddaughter is seven years old. I asked her whether she was excited today (not having seen her mummy for a while). She said she was. I asked her what she was most excited about – expecting something about her mum or her new house. She told me:
‘I’m excited about being able to breathe air.’
Perhaps we should wake up excited about the mundane wonders of life – like being able to breathe.
Wow that is such an awesome thing to be grateful for! We always forget the small stuff but that’s what’s important and that’s what we should be grateful for.
Takes a kid to point it out, doesn’t it?
Yes they are so much smarter than us!
We lose so much growing up.
Yeah but that’s because we start fearing so much and we become conditioned to act a certain way.
Pooj – I reckon our brains are less flexible. We tend to lose our sense of wonder and search for solutions.
What an awesome child !
She is a wonder!!
🙂
Opher, you’re so right about losing the wonder of childhood once we mature to adults. That’s not a good thing. We need the children to remind us to play and be aware of the truly important things in life!
That’s so right Peter.
The future is theirs – we must hand it over in better condition than we found it!
I do my best. I’m brain training. Just back from a few days with them.
Oh my gosh! A little Opher! 😀
She has a quarter of my genes. Does it show?
LOL Yeah, I expect it does. 😀
Never mind – she might cope anyway.
You mean like the sentiment on my key chair? “Not born Barbie. Trying to cope anyway?” LOL
Ha ha Cheryl. I hate to think of the poor girl trying to cope with the madness of my genes. But she seems to be in charge.
Well at her age she still harbors the hope that she can be! 😀
You mean they will trip her up later in life?
I hope not! I hope she has your stick-to-it-tive-ness!
That’s a new word Cherul – good to see you returning to normal! Hope you are!
Thanks, hon. Got a ways to go yet. Only halfway through the prednisone treatment. Still having issues with fatigue in my neck muscles. Going to be going in for a gamma globulin infusion soon now, I reckon, to see if we can jump start my immune system again. Blah…
Well whatever you’re doing it seems to be working! All the best!
