Posting Letters one at a time.....

I was just at the shops with my son and I had some last minute cards and things to post.  He begged could he post them and I said sure.  Because he's only 5 he obviously couldn't reach the slot so I held him up and he started posting them.................one at a time!  As I was standing there struggling to hold his weight, wishing he would just stuff them all in and be done with it, I have things to do, etc. I stopped for a second to actually look at his face which was all happy and filled with concentration for his task.  I wondered what it must be like to think that posting one letter at a time is fun and to have not a care in the world.

We as grown ups (especially at this time of year) spend every second rushing around, forgetting about the important things, completely caught up in things that really aren't.  I am terrible for this myself.  But just watching him this morning I felt so envious of him.  I want to feel so calm and time rich that I can post one letter at a time (and enjoy it)...........maybe that can be my New Years Resolution!

That and lose weight, spend less, get fit (which frankly is just a standard ridiculous promise I make to myself each year that I know I will break, hehe.)
