Lessons from a Toddler.
Earlier this week I met Hanna Jane. Where and why is not important; it’s what I learned from her that I hope I remember for the rest of my life!
Hanna Jane turned to me and very seriously asked “wat yur favrut part tuday?” Thankfully I am fluent in toddler so I was able to translate that to “what was your favorite part of today?” I thought for a split second and rambled off some superficial thought. My answer was sufficient enough for Hanna Jane. She told me that “playing with the buttons” was her favorite part of the day. I still am not really certain what that meant. However, if was her favorite part of the day, it must have been really fun!
It wasn’t until later that evening when I was lying in bed waiting for sleep to come that Hanna Jane popped into my head again. I though of her question and really thought about my day. What was my favorite part about the day?
Over the past few days I have made it a point to ask myself this question before bed. It really is a great question to ask yourself. An amazing thing happens; regardless of what kind of day you had, you start to think of all the good things that happened. It’s a wonderful way to end the day! Try it. Let me know what you think on Facebook!
I know for certain that my favorite part of last Saturday was meeting Hanna Jane. I will never forget the valuable lesson she taught me!
