Do you ever notice how children and pets are able to express pure joy and delight over the most ordinary things? To them everything is an adventure filled with possibilities. Every day presents new opportunities to discover and explore. They embrace every moment and express their feelings good or bad. When did we start to learn that it’s not OK to look at the world through those child eyes? Did we suddenly develop amnesia at a certain age? Did our parents teach us that to be grown up means not finding the beauty in every moment or did we just become afraid of what others might think because somebody judged us for our exuberance?  Does being an adult mean we’ve lost our ability to be awed by the simple things? It’s too bad most of us have forgotten how to play. We spend so much time taking ourselves seriously that we don’t remember how to have fun each and every day. Who cares what anyone else thinks? If they want to be serious that’s OK. But for me, I’m going to try and remember the world when everything was new and exciting and act accordingly. Sometimes a different perspective can literally change your life. And besides, who doesn’t want to have fun? What do you do just for the pure joy of it?
