Hey Everyone,
Is there a part of you that's still a kid inside and always will be? Sometimes it's just nice to let go of all the responsibilities and worries and sorrows... to find a moment of joy in what may seem like the smallest things.
At Christmas dinner, both my brother and I showed up in Spider-man t-shirts (mine, of course, was much cooler.
)
My toddler nephews also their parents, "Auntie Kim really likes to play... Is she a kid like us, or a grown-up like you?" (That REALLY made me laugh!
) On the other side of the family, my sister-in-law and niece were horrified by my confession that I've ALWAYS wanted a pair of "light-up" sneakers (hey, I do a lot of walking when it's still dark, so they'd actually be very practical!
) I keep thinking someday I'll find a pair in a bigger kids' size and be able to fit into those...
At the playground, I still swing on the swings.
And when my parents and I were in a car accident a few weeks ago (no one was harmed, thank the Lord), my Dad talked about how everything you know can change in the blink of an eye. I know it sounds incredibly childish, but when I went to sleep a few night later, I asked my Mom to tuck me i before they left.
She pulled a blanket over me and gave me a big hug and kiss good-night, just like she did when they first got me (after my adoption, even though I was too young to remember then.)
You're Never Too Old... to play with kids, to wear a favorite t-shirt, or buy a pair of light-up shoes.
And, You're Never Too Old to know you are loved, and that you love that person right back so very much.
What are you never too old for?
