The greatest poem ever known
Is one all poets have outgrown:
The poetry, innate, untold,
Of being only four years old.
- Christopher Morley
Who are the children in your life? The answer could be obvious (i.e., in your own family), but if not, extend your vision a bit to see the ways in which childlike spirit enters your life. Some examples the non-traditional ways that the spirit of a child can be in your life:
*Your pets, or the pets of friends
*Friends or family members who bring out the playful side in you
*Your own love for drawing with crayons or watching animated movies
*The children that you observe in public places (the store, playground,
neighborhood)
*The innocent state of "beginner's mind" you feel at the beginning of a project
Just think about the ways that children and child-like spirit enrich your life. Now, that's a fun gratitude strip!
