“The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.” Alden Nowlan
I met up with a fellow 365’er today. We had never met before, except for in the forums. I drove from Vancouver, BC to Seattle to pick up my Grandson who flew in from the East Coast to spend the next 6 weeks with me. Since she lives in the Seattle area, we arranged a meetup for lunch. We had such a nice time! My 13 year old Grandson was such a good sport – putting up with two crazy photogs . . . I love how he posed for this photo.

“There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million.” Walt Streightiff
I just love the sparkle in my Grand Daughter’s eyes . . . she’s showing off her booty from a birthday Pinata. You would think that she’s just hit a Million Dollar Lotto jackpot! Such innocence, and joy. It’s so sad to see this innocence and joy gradually disappear as we grow older and the realities and responsibilities of life sink in. I want to look at this photo every day as a reminder of what I strive for . . . the same joy and excitement for everything I do. I just can’t feel sad or depressed when I look at this photo of her . . .

“My childhood may be over, but that doesn’t mean playtime is.” Ron Olson
My husband found a box full of old wooden blocks that he played with as a child. How fun . . . so we got them out for our Great Nephew. He was having so much fun . . . I decided this would be a great 365 picture. Unfortunately I didn’t realize until I brought the picture up on my computer that the focal point was off, but I kind of like it!
My Great Nephew really got in to playing with the blocks too . . .
