2. Kids might be exhausting, but when all is said and done spending time with them makes life sparkle. If you don't have any little ones 'round about you, you probably won't have to look too far to find one or two who'd love to spend a few hours in your company.

4. Everything tastes better when you're eating outside. A chicken, spinach, and strawberry salad topped with bacon and grated parmesan. A New York Super Fudge Chunk cone melting all over your hand. A big ol' hamburger fresh off the grill. And how 'bout a frosty pitcher of home-brewed iced tea ... sweetened just enough to bring a smile.
5. Let's quit complaining when someone wants to take our picture. So what if we've got a bad hair day going on or our teeth are crooked or the lens doesn't flatter us like it did back in the day? Let's get rid of our futile airbrushed expectations and invite those carefree kids tucked inside our souls to emerge once again ...
