Life itself is the proper binge!

If I could go back and relive any age, I think I would choose to be three again.

Why, you might ask? Well, have you ever watched a three year old?

Only a three year old knows how to properly marvel at a spider web.

Darn near every three year old still thinks they can fly!

A three year old intuitively understands that their Mother is the most amazing creature on earth....and all because she knows how to turn their clothes right side out!

Three year olds are also some of the most authentic artists of our world, because they haven't yet forgotten how to draw pea green skies and purple cows.

Julia Child once said, "Life itself is the proper binge." I think three year olds live that truism from moment to moment in their amazing, young lives.

Somewhere along the way, we grownups have forgotten how to be awestruck by life itself, and try instead to fill it with cars, and jewelry, and houses,and designer duds, and trophy wives....

Ohhh, how thrilling it would be to dive off the living room couch and really, really believe that I could fly!

Yes, I do believe that given the opportunity I would love to view the world once again through three year old eyes !
