the past few days i have had an out of sorts experience. i had not been feeling to well, since the weekend. my house is in shambles since i am trying to prepare for an upcoming move. i have rehearsals going on. i am on the endless wait it seems for waiting for my daughter’s passport to arrive to her, so i can figure out when to buy her ticket. with christmas around the corner and money going to the new house, thoughts of oh i still need to do shopping. yes, my head has been out of sorts.
however with everything being so round about, i have to find this place inside myself to just laugh. i have been trying to catch up on editing some video from my recent past trip to hawaii and i came across video of my “niece” – “aunty sandra come see i make snowballs”. i laughed and i smiled (however will be honest at the time did not find humor in the throws of sand coming near camera equipment)- see there was no snow to make snowballs, just the sand around her. we happen to be at sunset on the beach, listening to locals play slack key guitar. so as you can see…my laughter that a child wants to make her version of “snowballs” out of the sand. i wonder as she gets older and she see the video that she will laugh at herself. will she see the humor and the cuteness?
have we as adults forgotten how to laugh at ourselves when we make mistakes or fall on our bums? this is what i love about children, they just don’t care- they will laugh at themselves. i learned today, to take time to laugh at myself in regards to my mistakes. i can laugh at myself for going mental over tiny things, when in the end everything just works out in time.
next time you are around your nieces/nephews/children- see how they look at life. try to look at life thru their eyes. laugh with them.
and if you want to take a look at the video…
