Today on the train was a group of 20-30 7 or 8 year olds, I think on a field trip. They were so excited it was hard not to watch them and smile. They were SO excited. To be on a train. To be going to the city. To be doing something new.

We went to the mall tonight and let One Philly Son wander the stores and halls. He laughed, he shrieked, he played peek-a-boo with stragers. People stopped to smile and watch him.

Something about children's pure joy and wonder is fascinating.

Let's try to get some of that joy and wonder back ourselves.
