magic

"When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life...I see so much magic though I missed it at the time." -Jamie Cullum

So I talked to my 5 year old niece on the phone last night, and she was telling me all about their recent trip to Disneyworld-- having breakfast with Mickey and his friends, falling in love with the dolphins at Sea World, being brave and riding Splash Mountain three times-- and how she can't wait for Halloween because she gets to dress up as the Little Mermaid and spray her hair bright red. I could actually hear the excitement and energy in her voice-- she was practically bubbling over with giddyness. And it occurred to me...when you are 5 years old, everything is still magic. Through her bright, youthful eyes, she sees everything with a hint of fairy-dust...she is still touched by the wonder and awe of life.

So today, I challenge you to approach life as a 5-year old.

Don't miss the magic.

And have a wonderful day.
