Love it. Kids are so full of unaltered joy. Its beautiful and its infectious. You can't look at this picture, her face and not feel the sun on your face and the sink of your stomach. Love it.
There is just something about watching a child swing - the breeze in their hair, the excitement that lights up their face and the overall sheer joy that seems to radiate from their little bodies. They are so caught up in the moment it is as if if everything else seems to fade away and not matter. And, as a mom, all of a sudden you too start to feel all the pressure and stress fade away for a few brief fleeting seconds as you get lost in the moment that is their innocence of childhood.
This picture makes my soul smile. Your writing, your photography, your art....it helps me see life happily and joyously. Especially when days are trying. You and your life are a gift to me and mine. Thank you.
yes. just. yes.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly how I feel with my kids.
