All I want is to make sad people happy, happy people dancey, dancey people ecstatic and have ecstatic people share it and pass it along. That's my plan to change the world. How to start? Smiling at people. Making eye contact. Neva randomly smiles, waves and says "Hi!" to people. I've yet to see this absolutely tick anybody off.
We live in such a paradox, we are closer than ever to people but so isolated! Reach out and love on people. Invite them out to coffee or over for a meal. Share you life with others! One of my biggest fears is saying the wrong thing, so I don't usually say anything. Then it hit me, if I never say anything I don't have much chance of saying the right thing either.
One of my favorite things about parenting is being able re-discover everything I've taken for granted. I'm able to watch my girls figuring out the world (how cool is that?!) and finding out how absolutely amazing it is. I've got to take some lessons from them. Here are a couple that I've figured out so far:
1. Never be too busy to play in puddles.
2. Kisses make everything better.
3. Snuggles are the best way to end every day.
4. Life is messy... and that's okay.
5. Music is everywhere! Don't forget to listen for it.
6. Everyone is happier outside.
There are about a million more but are a little hard to think of when I'm still only on my first cup of coffee. I've gone a little off-topic from where I first thought this post was going, such is life. Most things I've done have rarely ended up how I've planned. I kind of like it that way. :)
