Everyday Joy

“Great is the human who has not lost his childlike heart.” ~Mencius

💗

Boundless wonder

Spongelike senses

Candid smiles

Blessed innocence

Carefree laughter

Giddy enthusiasm

Enraptured

Awestruck

Cherishing

Marveling

Celebrating

Everyday Joy

♥ ♥ ♥

💗

Here we are — as you can probably guess from her attire — by the United States bear.

Being curious about everything, and able to appreciate the little things we see/meet/sense every day sometimes gets lost for us adults and we have to nudge ourselves back to that sense of wonder that we all had as children. Beautiful poem, and reminder, Shauna!

  Travel/mingling with the world is the only sure activity that keeps my wonder alive. Whenever I’m feeling blah about life, I know it’s time to strap on my shoes and get out there…Thank you, Tiny! 💗 🌎

The quote says it all! And somehow writing, that avenue for channelling my creativity is mostly responsible for maintaining my childlike heart and wonder at this world.
