Words to Live By

     I feel like all my posts lately have been about my Developmental Psychology course, but I can't help it!  It's the only course I find genuinely interesting and the only professor who isn't dry like the Sahara.  Todays quote is an excerpt from the poem "I Want to Be Six Again".  It's a poem that reflects on aging and reminisces of simpler times, reminding of us that we often lose sight of the small wonders in life. 

     "I want to return to a time when life was simple.  When all you knew were colors, addition tables and simple nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.  When all you knew was to be happy because you didn't know all the things that should make you worried and upset.  I want to think that the world is fair. That everyone in it is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible... I want to be six again."

     I miss watching Wishbone and Reading Rainbow. I miss when the only labels we cared about were Legos and Crayola. I miss making crowns of daisies and dandelions.

     Hope you find a little wonder over the course of today!
