I have always considered myself to be a optimisic person and through the years, my optimism has decreased.  Life has a way of doing this to us and at times, it’s hard to find the silver lining in any situation as we get older.

Expect the Unexpected

The one thing I have noticed with young kids, is that they expect the unexpected.  It could be something huge like going to a theme park, or even as simple as going to a movie. Kids have the amazing ability to enjoy the moment, good, bad or indifferent.  Their anticipation and expectations are pure emotions of happiness, excitement of not knowing, and joy of a new experience.

I believe if we allow ourselves to see things through the eyes of a child, it will bring back the very joy that life has a way of stealing, we must expect the unexpected.
