It is an enlightening moment when we are able to relate with the youth of the world because what I have seen happen is that the further removed me get, the less we understand. Your daughter just empowered you to open your eyes wider than ever before and I admire your ability to let this happen.... Have a wonderful holiday season and a very happy new year!

I had an eye opener myself about a year ago. There's a song my dad liked that had the line "To be a child again and have no worries on my mind..." and that's what I think of when I think of children. Then one Sunday, the pastor asked if any of us had had a hard time in our lives. My then 5 yr old daughter raised her hand!! I thought, "What?!" I asked her about it later and she said, "That time I got all those frowny faces..." She's a talker and frequently gets in trouble at school for talking. Which means she gets in trouble at home too. But her saying that opened my eyes up to the fact that, while their worries may seem small to me, they really are quite large to them. As a mom, I believe I need to be mindful of that if I want to keep communication lines open as she gets older. Wonderful post!

It explains everything. OK Josh,

It is a simple concept, yet difficult to implement, but I believe that chunking it down and reminiscing the way our world was perceived as a child will enable even more people to POP out of it faster than ever before!

My favorite part was about problem seeming so much bigger than they really are. I also think you really made a great point of talking about finding something that allows to lose track of time. A few weeks back I quit a job after 6 months of trying to find one because my heart just wasn't in it. I realized that if I'm so miserable in the first two weeks it was only going to get worse. I've focused my efforts on growing my blog, and the mean time finding a job that will complement the work I'm doing on my own. Essentially I'm looking for that thing which allows me to lose track of time because I'm enjoying it. Regarding distant memories, it' amazing that even things that happen less than a few weeks ago are already distant memories, and that gives me the idea for my next blog post :) Jared,

When the world is as large to you as is it to a child, the possibilities are endless, as you say. And when you remember that everything isn't as big as it seems, those possibilities also seem a lot closer than they did as a child. What a lovely paradox. The size of the world is at my command :) Jared- What a great way of looking at our place in the world and our position within our circumstances realistically but positively!
