2 day it was almost 60 degrees in Napptown and it was very sunny. So I decided to do something different than the day before. I decided to just be free and think like a kid, within limits. So after dropping my girls off at school, I came home and did some light cleaning and then went to the grocery store. While there I observed the other shoppers with keen interest. I was not absorbed in my mission to get in and out. I noticed how the old lady took her time picking the correct piece of fruit, I saw the old man riding the electric car mean mugging everyone and everything in sight. I saw the check out girls talking about plans for that night. I realized then how much kids can learn from just being observant.
I came back home and walked to the lake behind my house and skipped a few rocks across the water and then I looked up at the bright shinning sun that warmed my face, and I smiled inside. Today was the best day of my life. I did not care about quotas, returning phone calls or the latest memo! I was just free and it felt good. I started thinking no wonder kids laugh and play all the time, they accept life for what it is. If they don't have it, they work with what they have. Such wonderful and simple logic.
I eventually went back inside and took a well deserved nap and then went to pick up my girls from school. When I saw them I made sure to talk on their level. We talked about our favorite songs and what happened at school. It was fun. Now I am watching that Brad Pitt movie about Benjamin Buttons and writing this blog. Its a good movie, check for it! Well today was a good and I still feel good. Oh yeah, HI friend!.
I be Ward-day-cious
