Life is like an escalator.

You see, it carries you on regardless.
And you might as well enjoy the view
and seize every opportunity while you're passing.
Otherwise, it'll be too late.
- Lara Lington; Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella.

Kym: Mama, ride stairs. Papa, ride stairs!

And she goes overjoyed one the escalator joyride.

Kids have true happiness!!! Why won’t we be like them? Wherever life would take us, we should not erase the child we have in us.

Life is like a ride.

"Life is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride.... But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between FEAR and LOVE."

- - Bill Hicks (16 December 1961 – 26 February 1994)

Kym’s first time to ride the merry-go-round… At first she was afraid. So Papa was there to hold her up and to be with her all the way until the carousel stops… So she had lots of fun and wanted more.

And she rode other rides too....

Each day is a little life.

Each day is a little life. –Schopenhauer

Hold on into it like a child looking for his/her pacifier

PACIFIER

I just can’t settle down

I am not happy, I am in a frown

I don’t know how to fall asleep

Even when I am tired from a weep

I am all fussy and sad

If it will not show up then I’ll be mad

Truly mom forgot my pacifier

Guess I have to whine a little harder

I remember when you are here

I wouldn’t even shed a tear

Where are you little buddy?

I need you and not my mommy?

I don’t want to lose a friend anymore

I believe my eyes are all sore

So I hold on to you

I know, I miss you too.

Life is like drawing.

“Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.” - John W. Gardner

Kids love art.

Oh, I mean messing around. I was so proud of her when she already knew how to draw a circle, a heart and a star! I think, I have a young artist here with me in our home.
