Saturday we went hiking in south west Iowa with my son and two grandchildren. My grandchildren are at the fun age of 6 years old. They want to learn everything about life. While hiking on the trail in the timber, we saw everything from butterflies to ant hills, with many things in between.
I enjoyed watching their faces as they found something that they would get so excited about. As adults we don't take enough time to see things how children do, so I decided to slow down my walk and try to see things through their eyes. It's hard to believe I was once a child like them and life was so simple and fun.
I made a promise to myself that day that, I would take more time to see things like a child. It is easy to get caught up in LIFE as adults know it. If you see me having fun and picking flowers, just know that I am taking a break from all the junk in the world to "stop and smell the flowers." My grandchildren taught me a lesson this weekend, one is never to old to learn something.
