Relax,... stop thinking for a moment, still stop, not quite there yet, you're getting there.

This is just a random thought on life.

Although it may be summer, we sometimes need to just sit back and breath and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Instead of rushing around 24/7. Just take a break for a day or two.

As Americans we have forgotten this principle. We are so focused on money, or what to spend it on that we forget the little joys in life.

Sometimes we look at our children, and think why do they enjoy painting that picture that really isn't all that amazing, or why do they like to roll down a grass hill? I think a better question to ask is, "Why aren't we rolling down the hill with them?"

Maybe we need to. You say it's silly, but your kid enjoyed it. Why can't we? Honestly, WHY CAN'T WE? We're so worried about how other people see us. You just need to let go. Go do something silly. Humble yourself a little, and get used to it. Why should we care what other people think about us? They can mock us all they want, but in the end they'll be bitter that we came out with a smile knowing that we enjoyed rolling down that hill.

After all it's the silly moments that you remember not the plain organized ones.

Life is so much better when you're not worried about what everyone else thinks of you.
