| The wisdom of children - now with photos! |
 Because I spend 3 days a week playing with children, I am now being reminded of what it is like to be a child and to enjoy life just cause you're living it. As adults, we often complain too much, expect too much, and subsequently disappoint ourselves.
 On Wednesday, I was reminded that the cold isn't a bad thing, nor should we shy away from it (though proper attire does make it less daunting). The cold simply means that snow is on it's way and all the fun things one can do in the snow.
 The kids were so excited about it being cold enough to snow, they felt the urge to sled. My adult self said "you can't sled without any snow". Boy was I wrong! You can sled without snow and it's quite fun. And you don't get wet from melted snow on your clothing and you don't end up face first in a snowbank and you can easily get back to the top of the hill without slipping down.
In fact, sledding without snow might just be more fun than sledding with snow, only you just can't go as far. It was much more fun to stop thinking like an "adult" and start sledding instead.
