A quote that I truly understand.

People are always telling me to smile, like smiling is going to just take away all the hurt and pain. Well I've tried that I've tried hiding my sorrows and covering the sadness in smiles and what I've learned is that when it hurts this much inside your heart always has a way of showing it no matter how many masks you wear.

Celebrate!!!

The last six months or so I have been working on helping my inner child find Joy!! I recently painted my room purple which was my favorite color as a child. I readopted it as my color! I love these quotes about the inner child.

"I am often accused of being childish. I prefer to interpret that as child-like. I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I tend to exaggerate and fantasize and embellish. I still listen to instinctual urges. I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. I never water my garden without soaking myself. It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my greatest creativity and produced my best work." ~Leo F. Buscaglia, Bus 9 to Paradise

"Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap." ~Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

"My childhood may be over, but that doesn't mean playtime is. " ~Ron Olson

"Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do." ~Jean de la Bruyere

So lets all start taking sometime to just be. Stop and enjoy the present. Try looking at things the way a child would. Love your little you!

Little Kerry and I are going to play now! Love you all!
