Children understand the mechanics of accomplishment:  take a risk, try and try again, and bask in the accolades that follow.

As I grow older, I wonder at what point in life I lost that simple understanding.  Now, as I watch my granddaughters, I feel compelled to regain some of that old spunk:  tackle the new, and be more forgiving of mistakes, in favour of rewards that follow.  I want to be new again – to view life through the lens of accomplishment.

I always thought that age brings wisdom, and with wisdom I could succeed.  Now I see that all I needed was a little inspiration, sprinkled with a modicum of free-spiritedness.

Hope you are all having an inspired week!
