Spontaneous childhood joy

I believe as we get older, we lose our childhood ability to experience spontaneous joy. While many of us love to see snow with all its glistening beauty…we love it mainly from inside a warm home drinking hot chocolate and wearing fuzzy slippers. Especially when the temps are sub-freezing.

However, there are times when a little child will lead them. And, in my case, it was two children leading their Nana outside to sled. Well….there was no sledding for this old gal, but I did capture some expressions of joy as they sledded down the very tame inclines of our yard. To the more experienced sledder, this would not even be classified as “sledding,” but to these two, it resulted in at least an hour of giggles and smiles.

Let’s begin the week on a fun note. Monday’s need all the smiles they can get.

First we have sled surfing….

…with expected results.

And whatever big sister does, little sister follows. Pete and Repeat.

I will never forget the expressions on their faces.

Sled. Fall off. Giggle. Repeat.

I wish experiences of spontaneous joy this week that brings a smile to your face. Linking up with Sandee’s Awww Monday over at Comedy Plus.
