Sometimes I don’t take the time to stop and appreciate the little things in life. I might watch something but not have the poetic depth to really appreciate the perfection in the simple.
Usually when I watch my kids playing, it’s from a mom’s perspective, where I’m watching and worrying about my two reckless kids doing something that would require another ER visit.
To see these pictures through the lens of a third party was strange and reminded me to focus on their play, their fun and the sheer joy in the simplicity of being a child.
Do you ever think about that, as an adult- how do we have fun? Where do we break free and feel the security to be ourselves, unencumbered and perfect as we were made? Do you have people in your life who love you for you and who you can grin like an idiot, act stilly and laugh until you pee in your pants?
I hope you do.
Spend your precious life moments with people who understand you, challenge you to grow but at the end of the day, love you for you.
Have fun.
