Thank Heaven for children! They keep it real! If you want to get back in touch with reality and what's really important just spend some time with a child -- preferably your own.
Kids don't sugar coat it; they tell it just like it is. They are so positive and upbeat too. As a mother of 3, I know firsthand that they can be a lot of work, but they are worth it!
The other day, I wasn't feeling well and was kind of down. My five-year old colored me a picture of her and me playing at the park under a rainbow. She hands it to me with a confident and sincere smile on her face and says: "Here mommy this will make you feel better. I colored it just for you!" Then, as a tear -- of happiness -- starts to form in my eye, she adds "I REALLY LOVE YOU, MOMMY!" and gives me a BIG hug. We went out in the back yard and played on the swings, threw the ball for our dog, and watered some of our special plants -- she wanted to grow a tomato plant this summer -- and all was right with the world again.
