I am currently sitting on my couch admiring how silly my son is. He's sitting on his little sister's pink and purple atv singing and examining an old lid to an icecream tub that I gave them. Children are so lucky in that they can find awe in anything, they trust unwaveringly, and love full boar without any hesitation. I think we all need to get back in touch with our inner child.
My kids astound me with their unlimited energy, their ability to wake in the morning and just be firing on all cylinders ready for the day. I want to help my kids hold onto this, too often we shape and mold our children to fit into a society who is frankly stuffy, boring, and completely devoid of happiness! I want to teach them to hold onto the things that make them unique, to follow the things that make them tick unrelentingly. I want them grasp who they are inside and let that person grow and unfold and not be hindered. Individuality and self love need to be promoted in kids these days.
Morals are another big thing for me with my kids, it seems that the youth of today have none. The days where a kid will help an elderly person across the street, carry grocery bags for someone having a hard time, and hold the door for people are long gone and it breaks my heart! We need to go back to that, we need to have a drive within us to be courteous with one another and spread good will. I am a strong believer in Karma both good and bad, that if you do good good with come to you and vice versa. We need to take care of ourselves, the people around us, and Mother Earth especially!
Well, it's time for me to get ready for the day and take the little ones on a walk. Have a wonderful day, week, forever!
