I was thinking yesterday morning about how great Laura’s attitude with life is. She wakes up happy most mornings. If she isn’t happy right away, she either needs time to wake up yet or is sick. Like I said in my previous entry, she has a memory of an elephant. However, she seems to remember the good stuff. The bad stuff seems forgotten overnight. The other night I had reached the end of my rope with her. I was frustrated, I was short with her, and I had Robert do prayers and blessings. She woke up the next morning totally happy to see me again. She had forgotten the night before. Every day is a new day to her. Look forward to the good stuff, don’t worry about the frustrations of the day before.
What if we as adults started taking this attitude in life? Things could be very different. Adults tend to hold grudges and not get over things. Imagine if we let go and tried to have a new day each and every morning. Just one more thing to learn from a child.
