May 24th, 2010 UNFAIR ENGERGY No this isn’t some Wonderful life turned Soapbox about an Energy crisis! I am talking about the energy that little kids have! You hear people say, man if I could only have the energy of a child I could get so much more done, they aren’t kidding! A good friend of mine was in town visiting with her little girl who is 4 and holy shit I forgot what that kind of energy was! We are talking non-stop energy from the time of waking up until it’s time to go to bed. No not ADD kind of stuff, active wanting to move and play energy kind of stuff. Example, we all 3 go and get our nails done, now of course when you are getting your nails done you are sitting down, which her daughter did and was very good about staying in her chair, now as adults once we get done we leave and just walk to our car, we don’t feel the need to run, or skip or jump…but a child does! Why?? Because they have so much ENERGY! They actually want to be active, they don’t have to force themselves like we do, there is no awwww man I have to get my workout in with them..it’s yahoooooo this is so much fun to be moving! This is when you know God has a sense of humor, the older you get the more you truly need that kind of kid energy but oopsie sorry that kind of energy is exclusive to children! You know the cliché ‘stop and smell the roses’, well kids actually do that…as my friend and I were walking and her little girl was in front of us skipping she saw some roses and actually stopped to smell them, it’s one of those moments where you realize we may be adults but there is something to learn from the little ones, keep moving don’t get so dang lazy and take some time to see the beauty around you…Wonderful! Drop me a line to let me know your thoughts on my "It's a Wonderful Life" column...
