As a mother of two, I truly understand what Denise Austin is trying to say in her article that I copied below. It is very true that simple things make our children happy, that is why we have to value every little moment that we shared with our kids. Photos were taken at the lobby of the hotel in Legazpi City where we stayed.
Have you ever noticed how easily most children are made happy? Simple things — a colorful sticker, a trip to the park, hugging a cuddly puppy — make them squeal with delight and smile for hours.
Naturally, it's not as easy for adults to be so easily satisfied. While simple things should make us happy, life has gotten more complicated. Cute as they are, puppies just won't do it anymore — our happiness too often comes from big paychecks and expensive purchases. We've got less time to enjoy life and we're more stressed out. It's enough to make you wish you were a kid again!
