It doesn’t matter how old you are…something about being at a carnival makes you feel like a kid all over again.  Maybe it’s the sugar rush from the cotton candy and fried oreos.  Maybe it’s the dizziness from all the spinning rides.  Or maybe it’s the time we take away from working, responsibilities, and the daily grind to enjoy the simple pleasures that used to light up our world as children.  When was the last time you did something you loved that brought you endless joy as a child?  Perhaps it was riding a bike, playing a sport, painting??  Maybe it was climbing a tree or running barefoot in the grass…Whatever those things were, I want you to do something.  Are you ready?!  Grab a pen and paper, make a list of ALL the hobbies/activities you used to enjoy when you were little.  Study your list, and try to do at least one thing per week.  Lastly, SMILE, because life it too short and we grow up too fast, so stop and smell those beautiful roses, even when they are nowhere in sight! xoxo
