This week was April vacation for the kids and my son has been wanting his friend Daniel to sleep over forever…I told him when they were 7 and his “BFF” as he calls him turned 7 last month so this week their adventure began!

I wasn’t sure how much I would sleep or how well they would do for a full night and day together but I was sure I was as excited as they were when we picked Daniel up.  I was SO HAPPY watching their joy and excitement-we can learn so much from these little people who see the world as good and the possibilities within it-endless.

As I watched these two boys play for hours…and I mean hours…in Liam’s room with lego’s, star wars, and stuffed animals building, creating, laughing and living,  I was pulled into the FUN.  They were just happy with the simple things like milk and cookies and sleeping bags and drawing books.  They made their own wonderland and it was perfect to them.

As I sat out in the living room while they were winding down still giggling and talking to their stuffed animals well into the night I thought about how great it would be if we all could use the imagination we all had as children to see our adult dreams and goals come into being.  Why can’t we accomplish anything we want to in life-just like we thought it was possible as a child?  We can…we just have to step out in faith and courage to begin the actions needed for those dreams and goals and use our imagination, our innocence, to block out the fear and doubt that is saying “You Can’t”,

As children, we would’ve never let “cant” stop us, let’s not allow it to stop us now.  Sure we are wiser about the obstacles in the way but I am not so sure that kind of wiser is a good thing? Think about how those “obstacles” would have mattered when you were younger and how much “wiser” you were with possibility then.  Use that “wise” part of your childlike you to feel all the possibility again and get your grown up body going on those dreams and goals….

As Liam and Daniel say “May The Force Be With You”…..

LIVE LIFE FULLY and BELIEVE YOU CAN……..
