Has anyone figured out the meaning of life?
If you have, can you email me please?

Somedays I wonder if it is to test our patience - our ability to handle multiple crises at once. Other days I wonder if it is to test our ability to enjoy the simple pleasures or unexpected downtime.
Today I wondered if it was to see the world through the eyes of children. The simplicity...the wonderfulness...the wonderfulness of simple things like reading a book with mom or dad, playing outside on the first warm spring day, seeing a horse gallop along, playing the piano, singing a song, learning something new for the first time or just getting or giving hugs.
The meaning of our lives changes so dramatically as we age.
Much of the magic disappears.
Maybe that is why Disney is so successful? All the adults want to relive the magic for awhile?
For me, my children are a constant reminder - slow down. Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. Take a moment. Breathe deep.
And enjoy the hugs you get from your kids. Those too will happen few and far between someday.
