Being with children
"The soul is healed by being with children."
~Fyodor Dostoyevski~
A good cure for being bored, frustrated, or depressed is to spend some time with children. Everything is new to them - and this fresh outlook can be catching. Walking with a child, we can see again. as if for the first time, the bright beauty of the flowers, the relentless diligence of insencts, the myriad shapes of clouds.
Children make us slow down, to match their gait. They ask questions - questions we may have forgotten we know the answers to. Their young eyes notice things we have not really looked at for years.
When I am with children - my own or someone else's - I'll pay attention to them and to what they bring into my life.
My thoughts: Children are so full of energy, hope, and blind trust! Be more like them! If you spend time with children, you WILL feel younger. Go be with them and enjoy that time! Have an amazing day!
