I had an amazing weekend filled with both good food and even better people. I am really blessed to have so many good friends who truly care about my well being and speedy recovery. I thrive off of their positive thoughts and energy and undoubtedly transform it into cancer killing abilities.
The highlight of the weekend came Sunday evening when I had the pleasure of spending some time with Lilly. Lilly is the daughter of some good friends and a very cute and beautifully vibrant three and a half year-old.
Our connection was immediate and our mood playful. It only took moments before I asked her to play "Super-Stars" with me and she happily accepted. You see, for many of us our ability to express our super-star within diminishes with our increasing age. The following is what happens when you ask a three year-old to be a shining star with you (notice the progressive stages of shining bright):
You know, if only Lilly was about 25 years older, I'd ask her out on a date. Oddly enough, I'm also positive I wouldn't get the same reactions from her 25 years from now. You see, grown-ups tend to forget how to act like a "Super Star", but a three year-old just gets it and so do I.
As I close my laptop I realize that we all have the ability to bring out our inner-star. It only takes a little imagination and we can all shine with a blinding luminosity.
