Possibilities

"So what do you wanna be when you grow up?"

Haven't we all been asked that question as little kids? We've probably asked it of our grandkids and just kids in general. And, for each kid,the answers changed a thousand times.


"A fireman."
"A garbageman."
"An astronaut."
"An actor."
"A policeman.'
"President of the United States."
"A major league baseball player."
"A rock star."
"A treasure hunter."

The answers are usually so-o-o out there and seem so-o-o improbable and impossible that one stifles a laugh at the responses. But, toddlers are by nature, dreamers of the Impossible Dream. EVERYTHING is within their grasp and nothing seems un-doable. Ah, the magic of childhood. Ah, such enthusiasm! We can learn much from children. Perhaps this "magic" should sprinkle our adult years with such optimism and the idea that anything we can dream, we can do!

"There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million." ~Walt Streightiff
