Do you remember ever feeling this kind of happiness? We become so judgement oriented as grown-ups. Certain conditions need to be met; the right people must be there, we must look a certain way, weigh a certain amount, have an X amount of dollars in our bank accounts, and have our dream jobs.This was Deaglan today when my wonderful friend Erin dropped by with some belated Christmas gifts. I know that he loved the toys she brought him but this look of pure ecstasy - I think that this was all about just lovin life.
Kim, I love seeing the joy on a child's face. Young children don't have all that self talk dictating their reactions. It's so true about how much they just love life. Hope Deaglan has tons of fun with his new toys!! Isn't it great to be a kid?
ReplyDeleteWell said, we need to live in the moment and live, love, laugh and enjoy life!!! Great picture. He does look like he is so happy. :)
ReplyDeletehe is too cute! it does make me miss being a kid!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous little man. :D
ReplyDeleteDid he do that squealy, happy laugh too?! He is so precious. Great reminder, since sometimes grown-ups have to actively work to be happy.
ReplyDeletei kind of feel the opposite right now and need to turn that frown upside down!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could harness some of that kid happiness/enthusiasm/energy for myself!
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable!
So very true... I would love to feel that pure, selfless joy more often. Children really are great examples, aren't they? They take such delight in things we often take for granted. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when you can see that pure joy in a child's eyes! That is a beautiful picture of Deaglan. Sounds like a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Nothing , nothing greater than the joy of a child. Love the picture.
ReplyDeleteLook how happy he his! Doesn't it just make you want to give him presents every day!
