Lazy Days

Remember those? Me neither. But I'm sure there were days as a child where I had the time to just sit and do nothing. To park myself under a tree and ponder the great questions of the universe... 'what is love? what is the meaning of life? why are smurfs blue?' Don't you wish you could hear the little voice inside her head right now?



The greatest thing about childhood is that it is so fleeting. We have decades to be an adult.. and but a few short years to really be a kid. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and so they say.. so perhaps it's the scarcity of those years that leave us yearning for more. For the days when it's okay to get nothing checked off your to-do list, to not even HAVE a to-do list... when a productive day is spending an hour trying to touch the edge of the tree limbs with your toes in the highest-biggest-bestest-swing-of-your-life.



Here's to Friday. The promise of a weekend isn't exactly the same as reliving your youth... but maybe we can all head into the weekend with some of that childish innocence... relish the warmth of the rays instead of reaching for your sunglasses... take the long scenic route, even if it's just to the grocery store... and if you get the chance... try and touch the trees. :)
