I love this quote excerpt from "The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness" by Dr. Edward Hallowell about what our children bring to our lives...
children disturb and distract us in ways we need to be disturbed and distracted. they get us to come out and play. they puncture our pomposity. they make us laugh, even when we try not to. they show us that there is more to life than getting ahead or getting sleep. they make us improvise. they teach us new words. they make us exercise. they prevent us from getting set in our ways. they tease us. they give us adults that elusive gift called MEANING.
