Kids

Every gratitude post I ever write for the rest of my life could be about kids. I love them. The way they spin and run around in circles for the sheer joy of it. Their preferences for strong colors and patterns and unmatching socks. The unself-conscious way they dance. Their absolute honesty. The at-homeness and amazement they feel in their own bodies. The questions they ask. They way they wear "dress-up" clothes as real clothes because it's fun. Who wouldn't want to live like that?
