Silly

 At some point grown ups become grown ups and all the laughter and silliness come out of them. Maybe it’s the weight of life. Maybe it was corrected out as we grew older. Maybe we just don’t make it a priority. 

Kids imagine. They laugh. They think of silly things and laugh. The look at things and laugh. They are just silly. And it is so wonderful. 

We need to be like kids and laugh. And be silly and goofy and a little wild. Why? You ask. I ask, Why not? 

Kids are free even in not so great circumstances. I think kids find a way to laugh and be silly. Kids are creative. And creativity lends to ideas and ideas can be great when cultivated. Kids forgive quickly and easily. Kids connect. Kids are always learning. Kids are fun to be around. They are exuberant.

I propose that we start being silly again and laugh on purpose. Perhaps all the other characteristics of a kid will follow and soon we will see that we have more energy, we don’t hold grudges and we connect with others easily. What silly thing will you do or think of today?
