When was the last time you:
Went to a movie in a movie theatre, bought popcorn and just escaped for a few hours
Found a penny on the ground, picked it up and passed it on to someone else for “good luck”
Swung on a swing
Made a snow angel
Looked for seashells on a beach
Ate a candied apple
Went on a picnic
Played Monopoly
Drew a picture
Flew a kite
Toasted marshmallows
Rode on a merry-go-round
Splashed in puddles
Pressed leaves between the pages of a book
Skipped a stone across water
Built sand castles
Jumped in a pile of leaves
Built a tree fort
Looked at the stars
Skinny dipped
Licked the spoon
Made a wish on a dandelion puff
Skated on a pond
Finger painted
Made a fort out of blankets
Collected something
Held hands
Laughed and giggled til your sides hurt
Caught frogs or tadpoles or minnows
Cried
Found wonder in the smallest of things
Today…find the wonder. Celebrate the childlike beauty of doing things that bring you joy. Put on your superhero cape. Skip, run, jump, nap, eat and play. Build a bit of that wonder into each and every day.
Life’s too short not to have fun.
