All I Wish is... Laughter!

my kids are probably the greatest joy / laughter-injectors in our family. i enjoy listening to their talk, when they play, when they discover new things around them, when they discuss and draw conclusions with each other, when they just say straight out how they think and feel. it's the most wonderful thing i know! children are so pure of heart and honest. i like it best among them...

"a smile costs nothing but gives much. it enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. it takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. none is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. some people are too tired to give you a smile. give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give."
