Grown ups can do whatever they want........

The other day my almost ten year old was grumbling that he has to do what others tell him to do while grown ups can do whatever they want. I explained to him about all the obligations of being a grown up and all the things we HAVE to do and said that there are good things about being a kid and good things about being an adult. Then afterwards I was thinking some more about our conversation and I remembered having the same thought as a child, that when I became a grown up I would do this and that and the other thing. And I realised that as adults we can do what we want but often get so caught up in our day to day grind, our list of must do's, that we forget this. So my idea for today is that we should remain open to the possibilities that we have and to grab on to those funny or crazy ideas that we sometimes have instead of pushing them away and acting all grown up. If we want we can spend a whole day in our pyjamas, eat lollies, give the couch away and sit on cushions, paint our room purple, just paint or collage or scribble, lay under a tree and daydream, go to Paris, whatever it is that your inner child wants to do. Don't forget, we are grown ups and we can do what we want......................have fun. love K.xx
