I have had the pleasure of nannying this summer (two wonderful children.) I feel like (myself included) sometimes this world becomes so caught up in the negative. This is what people are doing wrong. Kids should be ____________ but instead they are ___________. I've been smiling to myself a lot lately. Specifically, these past few weeks as I have watched many children play in the pool, play cards for hours and hours and just have fun (old fashioned style.) They are enjoying their friends, the summer sun and are not materialistic. They want to play outside, bake, make slime out of cornstarch and water and learn new card games no matter how long it may take. I took this very job on a whim and it goes to show you that-the beautiful and unexpected is found in places you least expect. Tomorrow we will be setting up a lemonade stand to support Children's Hospital (per the children's request.) There is a lot of good in this world. I wonder if we spent more time talking about the good, would the world be better, feel better and look better? Life is about perspective, but it also takes a special eye and an openess to see the positive. This is a challenge we should all be willing to take.
