reflecting

Jan 17, 2012

I am grateful to have children that see life, almost every day, as a fun place to play in and be excited about.  Things can look so miserable and scary to me, and yet here are these human beings smiling about simple things, unafraid, OK with life as it is, always seeing things to be happy about.  It’s amazing.  I want to let go of my fears and be like them.

    Love how carefree they are in these. And I totally echo your sentiment.

    Beautifully stated, Jessica. Max has taught me so much about finding joy in the simple things; in the details. Which in turn has made me realize what a fearful and guarded life I live. Oh to be a child and be carefree and full of wonder again.

    I adore that first photo.

    Most days I think my kids teach me more than what I teach them.
