Who Says You Have To Grow Up? — Delilah’s Reflections

As we grow older, we seem to forget the little things we used to enjoy when we were younger.

However, we shouldn't stop enjoying these little things just because our age continues to get higher.

When was the last time you read a book, or read your kids a book, or drove to the library (yes, they still exist) to check out a book? When was the last time you built someone a root beer float; swung high on a swing; skipped a smooth rock at a lake? When was the last time you picked fresh berries, or folded a paper airplane?

When did you last look for constellations in the night sky; tried writing with your toes, or played a harmless prank on a friend? When was the last time you told a knock knock joke to a kid, or tossed a water balloon, or tried to hula hoop, or dusted off your baseball glove? When was the last time you did something you loved to do when you were a kid?

Who says you have to grow up anyway? Sure, you have to grow old and you have to be responsible and accountable. But you never have to grow up. You still have a kid inside you and you can call on that kid whenever you want. Try it out. You just might find it's the little dose of happy that was missing in your week.
