childhood
20Nov14
Not long ago, I saw photos some friends had put on Facebook from a recent trip to Disneyland. I’m usually not huge on Disney parks, but for whatever reason, I really wanted to go.

And then I realized… I didn’t want Disney, I wanted the freedom of childhood, and the fun of the annual Disney trips with my mom (where I was too young to worry about the costs, or even to really think about it!).
So, who’s with me on trying to find a bit of child-like joy to incorporate into daily life? That’s what I think I’m seeking… being an adult is no fun sometimes, huh? Let’s do it!

There is nothing childish in wanting to be free of responsibilities, worries and pressures. I love opening up the Christmas catalogue, looking at toys. I am not going to buy them, but I can remember playing some of them for hours–and I am not talking about video games.
Every year, my students remind me about making snow angels. So last year, without warning, without thinking, without worrying that someone would think I am strange, I made a few (some turned out better than others)
For sure, Anthony! My husband and I are always telling people that silliness is part of success in life! Too many people take themselves too seriously. 🙂
Yes, I agree. Some people take themselves way too seriously.
