The joy in kids! Someone recently told me that we should have had our grandkids first since they bring us so much pleasure. We can have fun with them but don’t have to live with them! Being with kids rejuvenates the soul and nourishes our own inner-child, which we need to feel alive. The sense of wonder, curiosity and the newness of life are regenerated when one is with a child or children.

There are various programs at some of our local hospitals and if there are none where you live, then start one; whereby you can be a foster grandparent for children who don’t have any. This is a great opportunity to nurture and teach a child about life and to renew your own sense of youth, and have fun at the same time. Enjoy life…adopt a child even if you have some of your own. You will be doing a blessing for someone and yourself!
