Mick Clawson, a 4-year-old from Rogers, dances during the Family Field Day at the Northwest Arkansas Mall.
Remember having no reservations about running around and laughing in the middle of, say, the mall in front of several hundred people and not caring at all?

Reminds me of you at that age.
You know the saying, "Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt before, and dance like no one is watching"?
I've always felt it could be summed up by just saying, "Live like you are five years old." They work at things not for what it gets them but for the fun and joy they get from doing so. They love without reservation because they are so in-the-moment that they don't nurse old hurts or let them hold them back in fear from the love to be had now, in this moment. And they dance because it's fun and their feet move of their own accord. They know what we forget.....love and joy shared, with loved ones or with strangers, is that much more love and joy. They are exponential. We are exponential and may we always be five.

It's watching kids that makes me miss being a kid — your kid, to be exact.
Kids really are a better example, pound for pound, than any other age group. You are one of the few people who I know who still gets that.
I love this pic!!!!!
