I took a moment to think about the beautiful, but short lasting sensations that we encounter throughout our lives. The feel of a cool breeze after a rain storm, the smell of a brand new book on the shelf. They are the what makes our everyday lives meaningful. Without them, our whole lives are an endless sea of gray with only the occasional blip of color. The feeling that accompanies opening the front door in the morning and breathing in the crisp, relatively fresh air and smiling. Or the feeling of confidence and dominion that one gets when you take a curve on the freeway perfectly.We never talk about them, but in reality they make our day every day. Take some time to think back to those childhood days long gone, when you never took anything for granted. When you could sit and watch the yeast rising in the measuring cup, pretending it was a bomb or was going to pour over the sides. Back when dandelions were flowers, not weeds, that you could take home and give to your mother. In essence, rejoice in the little things in life. That is what I think it means to find your "inner child," return to when you could wonder at everyday things.

This is a nice post. I like your sentiment. I have two suggestions. In your blog title the word you should use is "gleaned" not "gleamed." Also in your post for today, you should use the word "granted" instead of "granite." Granite is a rock.
haha like i said before it reminds me of myself, just wanted to let you know that your thoughts are being read.. :P
