Your Magical Child

When was the last time you let your magical child out to play? I’m in Cleveland right now and there’s nothing like snowfall, especially at night, to bring out the giddy, happy, magical child in me. Standing in the snow, watching it fall, feels like being in the middle of a snow globe; the silence at night, seeing snow swirling around me, there’s nothing like it.
We all have a magical child within us. The part that believes in magic. That thinks wardrobes are secret portals, stickers are the best thing in the world, and keys are a total find because who knows what secrets you’ll unlock. How about you? What feels magical? Or have you lost touch with that side of you. Maybe you never fully had it. But it’s not too late to connect to that part. To let her/him out to play and start to look at the world through their eyes. Maybe you’ll go find a swing to swing as high as you can, maybe you’ll head down to the beach, throw off your shoes and go splash in the water, getting soaking wet, or maybe you’ll find a tree to climb, and play pretend. The only limit is your imagination.
Now if this sounds frivolous, I can assure you, it’s not. Life is meant to be fun, that’s the point. How much do you take things too seriously? Do you ever let yourself play? If the answer is no, consider why. Who told you to stop goofing around? Who wouldn’t let you experience your joy? Whoever once dampened you is no longer allowed to design your present and future. Life is so much more joyful when you infuse it with play and fun. How boring is it to be “adult” all the time.
Let your magical child out to play, you’ll be amazed at how much more Technicolor life becomes.
