Looking Up
Good morning,
I wrote today’s feature article one day last week while trying to work on a more “grown up” piece about personal growth that I was writing for a client with her own deadlines to meet. I was gazing out the window looking at the beautiful spring weather and thinking how much nicer it would be to be outside playing instead of inside working.
take care,
Skye Thomas

Feature Article of the Week:
Growing Younger
I am finished with being a grown up. I want to play more. I want to eat ice-
I want to feel that sense of gleefulness when we decide to go to the park. I want to get excited when they announce new Saturday morning cartoon shows next fall. I want to buy new sandals in every color and goofy sunglasses to match. I want to lay on my side and roll down a hill of grass and wildflowers and not think once about grass stains or dirty smudges.
I want to love as if my heart has never been broken. I want to give 100% without hesitating because it might not work out. I want to run into old lovers and laugh for the joy of seeing an old friend. I want to make love like it is still new forbidden territory. I want to kiss with a giggle in my heart and a twinkle in my eye.
I want to go back to school and learn fun new things, like how to dance and sing. I want to learn about movies and ancient civilizations and hummingbirds and how to say “I love you” in three different languages. I want to lose myself in books and not worry about book reports, homework, tests, or honor roll. I want to sit in the front row fascinated by a smart and enthusiastic teacher. I want to connect the dots and color outside of the lines.
I want to build towers with blocks just to knock them down and watch them fall. I want to make trails and paths with dominos and then gently tap that first one so the others will fall down one at a time. I want to dress my cat in doll clothes, put him in an Easter basket, and drive him around on my bicycle in that basket swinging on the handlebars like when I was eight years old. I want to roller skate and play hopscotch.
I want to believe with all my heart that I could be an astronaut, a dancer, a rock star, or a racecar driver if I just set my mind to it. I want a clean slate and all options still open. I want to feel that hunger to aspire to something great. I want to feel like I was put on this planet for a very special reason. I want to assume that the world wants my gift as much as I want to give it.
I want to trust strangers without giving it a second thought. I want to believe that adults actually have all of the answers and our best interests at heart. I want to feel safe and protected simply because my dad locked the front door before saying “goodnight.” I want to feel the invincibility and cockiness of youth. I want to believe in people’s potential despite their choices. I want to assume that I can talk my way out of anything.
I want a do-
I want to nap in the sunshine and make whistles from wide pieces of grass. I want
to catch ladybugs and fireflies. I want to tell ghost stories and suspect that they
might come true. I want to run with grass stained bare feet. I want to get lost
in make-
I want to learn how to do cartwheels, backwards somersaults, and handsprings. I
want to fall down with gusto and wear my wounds with pride. I want to climb trees
and hold my breath as the tree sways with the wind. I want to play Dodge Ball and
Four-
I want to go to birthday parties with balloons and streamers. I want to look forward to growing another year older and tease my peers for being younger than me. I want to receive frivolous toys and funny new hats instead of kitchen appliances and useful tools. I want to spend weeks creating the perfect Halloween costume and I want to believe in Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, and Peter Pan.
I want to play Pong, Ms Pacman, and Donkey Kong. I want to recite riddles and puns.
I want to know all the words to all those songs. I want to play pool and ping-
Today I want to grow younger rather than wiser. I want to play hooky, no bosses, no chores, and no bills. I want to pull the kids out of school and run off to the zoo. I want to play at the park and rhyme like Seuss. I want to say “yes” to donuts and “no thank you” to lima beans. I want to find a rainbow and chase a leprechaun. I want to teach my children the fine art of puddle jumping and leapfrog. I want to chase butterflies and make cookies. I want to see life as my playground. I want to believe in magic and love at first sight. Fearless and brave I want to shout, “Gimme more!”
