“Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.”
-Franz Kafka
Oliva,
This is my hometown. I know every inch of it by heart. Walking through it makes me feel like a tourist, with you as a guide. This boring old red barn, so common in this region becomes magical. “That’s where the animals live.” I can see the wheels turning, this must be Old McDonald’s farm! Pausing in the hopes of catching a glimpse of Bingo the dog.
Thank you Little Flower, for reminding me that all it takes is a brief pause to recognize that the world is a magical place.
I love you dearly,
Mama
Never Grow Old

Yes, you know how parenting is a two-way street, Sandra. Darling post for Olivia.

Indeed, remembering that the world is a magical place is a hard thing to do day by day. Write it, sing it, say it and remind yourself.
