Yesterday was the day I rediscovered what sheer joy was. You see, I had the day off. It was a gorgeous day and so decided to go to the park to work on some stuff to build my business. I sat at a picnic table; under a huge, ancient maple tree with a view of the play ground. It was the middle of the day and I was the only person there. The peace was exquisite but I kept getting distracted by the swings. Finally, I gave in and casually ambled over checking to see if anyone was watching. Feeling a little foolish, I sat down and pushed the swing into motion. The swing arced higher and higher. My heart got lighter and lighter. Time stood still and I was 6 years old again. The belief that I could fly felt so real. Suddenly I heard a child laughing. It was that beautiful tinkling laughter that just comes out of them like soda bubbles. I looked around to see where the sound was coming from. I was still the only one there. Then I realized that laughter was coming out of me!!
What a shift from one week ago!!
