Wisdom of children

Children never cease to amaze me. I’ve always loved their innocence and seeing things through their eyes has been quite an eye-opener for me. It is something for which I count my blessings each day.

My daughter said something to me last week that I’ve promptly shared with my friends, and we all couldn’t agree more with her.

I bought some cakes last week for her and as usual, reminded her how lucky she is that we try to give her the best of everything. At times, we sacrifice our needs for hers. This time she pondered over the information slowly, then said, “But Mommy, sometimes you need to buy something for yourself too. You deserve a treat yourself too.” Such pearls of wisdom from the mouth of a 7-year-old! Come to think of it, she IS right! It took a child to remind me that sometimes I need a little treat myself too.
