kids happy

• doing something every year so that it becomes traditional
• anything dropped that does not break
• syrup that doesn't disappear as soon as it hits the pancakes
• giving myself totally to what I am writing about
• playing alphabet search
• garden frogs
• bunny slopes
• paying no attention to people who try to discourage me
• national parks
• shopping in factory outlet stores
• creating a mural
• learning a card trick
• teachers who love their work
• childhood fantasy
