Take time to stop and...jump in puddles?

The other day, I saw a little girl jumping in puddles in the street. She was soaking wet and loving it. Maybe she had things on her mind: a pesky older brother, a Barbie haircut gone bad. Who knows? In that moment, all concerns were pushed aside and she was just living in the moment.

As adults, those kinds of moments get harder and harder to find. With dishes to wash, bills to pay and lawns to cut, jumping in puddles just isn't a priority. No wonder everyone is stressed out.

That little girl is a good reminder to us that sometimes it's good to step away from the to-do list for five minutes and enjoy life.
