I want to be a child again |

As I have gotten older I find that fear and hesitation prevent me from reaching a lot of my goals, so my decision is to try and look at the world through a child's eyes. For a few precious moments I want to tell people I love them and hear
the same. I want something simple rather than what we create in our crazy, unhappy and cruel, mostly confusing adult worlds. All Children are inventive. They are born with no preconceived notions of doing things. They believe there are no limits to what they can do or how they can do it. They view each day with awe and amazement… They put everything they learn into practice…
I remember as a child that even though I had no responsibilities and freedom all I wanted to do was become an adult and now that I am adult I would like nothing more then to relive those years as a child…I don’t want to have to work out life’s problems, to try to make a week of money pay a year of bills I don’t want to worry about food and dinner, and the demands of my life. I want to say what’s on my mind and have people think its cute and not offensive, or confusing. I want to lie on the grass and make pictures out of the clouds, I want the hardest thing of my week to be learning my spelling list, I want someone else to clean up after me, buy my clothes, make my bed. I want life to be simple again
I want to return to the day when I believed that justice would be served if you did the wrong thing, the days when everyone seemed nice and good, I want to see the sun come up and be excited that it’s a new day… I want to once again believe that those I love live forever and that a kiss can make my pain go away. When my son was born I went for an x-ray and while I was waiting I played on my hands and knees chasing him around the room. A man commented to my mum that he would love to take me home to play with his kid’s cause I looked like I was having so much fun… Back then I took the time to play a lot with my child… these days (though I do get down and have a tumble with my kids) I feel the weight of the world a lot more on my shoulders and I have at times forgotten to breathe and smile and play…
Its time to Find pleasure in simple things.
- My mum and I often get an ice cream when out…We are like little kids
- We also take the time to walk along the beach
Its time to Remember to play.
- I play soccer and basketball with my kids in our backyard.
- We also play tag on our walks
Its time to Laugh deeply and often.
- I love getting the tickle fairy out on my kids tummies. And they do it back to me
- What makes you laugh?
Its time to See things for the first time again.
- Can you pause to enjoy a rainbow or the sound of rain on your roof?
- Why don't we Turn off the TV tonight and watch the sunset.
If your life has become a routine like mine has then find time to dream again. . If we start to live our life with the excitement we did as a kid, we will never look back at our life with unfilled dreams.
So why not find a trampoline and allow yourself a time of childlike carefree play. As you jump, all of your cares feel like they are swept away. I took time to use my kids trampoline yesterday at home and afterwards my worries seemed less significant... Even a visit to your local park can release the child within
Go on ....Became like a child again.
