one of my best dates ever

give yourself an unhurried hour at the least,

grab a six year old on a sunny day

(definitely one you know,

preferably with their parent's permission)

and take them for ice cream

then to the park

be prepared to walk slowly,

so you can spot treasures,

bend (with your knees) and pick the special gifts up

(a ziploc would have been helpful today, but coat pockets will work)

be prepared for the child to share with you so you have your own stash

mine

Allow your eyes to be opened to the wonder of the world as seen through their eyes and the value of things money can't buy -it is a beautiful and priceless thing. It is an investment you won't regret.
