Maturity Can Kill Your Inner Child

 Life will take you to unexpected places.

Your proximity breeds empathy.

 But love brings you home.




Here is the world.

(our world)

beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.

Fredrick Buechner




When you're short for words read a book.

If you're feeling blue, music is the divine way to recover.

When it rains look for rainbows.

When it's dark look for stars.


There's something we can all do at any given moment of the day for someone else. Don't over think it. Just do.



In all this world there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child. L. Frank Baum. Or a wagging tail. Or a storytelling grandparent and fresh baked pie straight from the oven.



When a poet digs himself into a hole, he doesn't climb out. He digs deeper, enjoys the scenery, and comes out the other side enlightened. Criss Jami

(and so too readers are enlightened and thankful at the same time.)



The world as we created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking. Albert Einstein




Don't just hide behind the many screens of life.
Your sanity depends on this.

The three C's in life:
Choice, Chance, Change.
You must make a choice to take
a chance or your life will never change.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. Barack Obama



No matter the weather we're too resilient to be downed by any storm.

We've got this, isn't just a saying, it's a way of life.


Look for something positive every single day.

Plans aren't crucial - just wing it.

Sometimes look for something positive 

way more often than once a day.  

You'll know the days when that's necessary.




Thanks for stopping in your comments are special to me.

Take good care of you.

My inner child is in no danger - and is frequently the healthiest and happiest part of me.

I adore these photos. The characters are just enchanting and whimsical. They make me happy. I've never seen these before and love them. Love the quote from Obama. He's spot on. My inner child is doing pretty well -- but you're right. It can be in a most vulnerable position!

Thanks for coming by my blog!

Somewhere I read that if you've not grown up by age 60, you don't have to!. At least, I'm counting on that.
