unfortunately, as you first stated, your grandson doesn’t worry about earthquakes, price of gas, etc cause he’s got an adult doing that for him. well, i don’t. and neither do you. this post is preposterous. more and more ADULTS are finding themselves homeless these days. i’d be damn worried!!!!

New to this blog, Tess…really enjoyed that post.

One thing I love to do is walk to a store about a mile away when I usually drive. There’s a couple of brooks that pass underneath the road. You wouldn’t notice them in the car. The sights and the sounds give a deeper connection to the natural world. It also encourages you to alter your perception of the world around you. If nothing else, the amount of planning, effort and resources that went into creating all these roads. Amazing when you think about it.

Thanks for the consciousness shift!

My favorite place to be childlike is the wonder that is Disney World. Whenever I walk through the ticket gates, I feel like a 9 year old again. My best memories are with my younger 2 young adults. Can’t resist going on the Matterhorn with my kids and screaming like a teenager all over again.

When I am down, random acts of kindness performed by me really help cheer me up. If I can make someone smile, it does make me feel warm and fuzzy. At times, reaching out to friends, even friends in cyberspace also helps.

That is a great list. I am print it out and commit to each doing one each day until I exhaust the list. And also make the list dynamic by adding to it. It is so easy to get into a rut. Thanks Tess.

Hi Tess,
What a cutie!! Kids are the best thing to keep us young. Their perspective is always fresh and surprising. My children are a beautiful blessing and they are my greatest teachers in more ways that I can count. I can already foresee the blessing that grandchildren are going to be.
Thanks for this gorgeous post. Loving blessings!
