The Golden Years

Did you know that the years between 0-8 years of a child is called the 'Golden Years'? I was told by a wise woman that it is called the Golden Years because every child during these years only has an interest to 'absorb, explore, feel, see and touch' its environment, the people, things and aspects that are in it... It is truly a wonderful thought. When I start to look at it, it becomes very clear that children during these years are so undamaged and free as opposed to us adults who most often forget to explore each hour, day or week, miss to absorb a special moment or simply never stop to smell the roses...

When I look at our children, I become very aware that I too often, mostly unintently, sort of try to force them into the way I handle my everyday moment ie come on, we are in a hurry, don't do that, stop that right away, why do you do this now, why do you do that now? etc etc... Instead it ought to be I who take on the very same interest as they have to make the most of every moment of the day, the most of every day, every month, every year!

Sounds like a cliché but I believe I have millions of things to learn from my children which at the end of the day would provide that simple, loving and joyful approach to life, in the most uncomplicated way - The Golden Years-way.


Having said that and with that in mind -
Like one of my best friends say; Create a sensational week for yourself! (you might as well!)
