Childhood Joy

I made an observation today while watching my daughter play outside.  Children live in innocent and simple joy. 



Perhaps one reason people have children is to remind themselves of what life SHOULD be like; devoid of political/religious/etc. angst and the laying of blame.  Life should be about how licking a little frozen icicle causes unabashed giggling.  That suiting up to tromp through snow is the best activity for a Sunday.   And the sure knowledge that Mom and Dad hung the moon and sing the sun to sleep just for me.


Yes, given a choice between 3 hours of Sunday rhetoric and 3 hours of tag in the snow with a 2-year old and I'll take tag every time.
