It should never be underestimated how much we can learn from our children. Today I was reminded how wonderful optimism is.
I was about to leave the house with my 3 year old daughter and we were putting on rain boots, warm coats and hats. It was cold, wet and very gloomy. She then went to get her sunglasses.
"Marigold, it's raining." I said politely.
"But Mumma, the sun might come out." She replied.
I loved her optimism.
"Yes Marigold, you're right. It just might come out."
So we both left the house with our sunglasses, just in case. And you know, I swear I saw the tiniest bit of blue sky.
