yes…….childlike wonder i still have in my soul
despite the years i have behind me, i still see the would through the eyes of a child
it may seem silly for one of such age to get so excited by a butterfly, a flower, a happy dog with his head out a window, a poem, a sunset, or a friendly comment
but………my heart still skips a beat when i see small tokens of joy present itself
it is as if God is telling me…….i am here……and……i never left……..
Simply Chronically Ill 
Lol…..i believe its still with us all, the difference is that most of us shuts it out. Nice post ✌💕

Oh, I do understand! The simple things are so much more meaningful because we don’t get out much, so we focus on the beauty around us. Some days just seeing a hummingbird or hearing the song of a whippoorwill totally makes my day! Blessings on you today my friend.🤗❤

I am a child at heart and still squeal at the sight of glitter, bubbles and play dough. My blog started out as a blog on all of the latest children’s movies, books and games(You can check out my website at coolncreative.wordpress.com) but now I also write reflections and share positive quotes to add some hope and positivity in people’s days.

I feel this way too, Wendi. Maybe we have to experience the ‘darkness’ to really appreciate the beauty around us? These little things of joy are, for me, proof of a Creator.
