The notes were posted on these bronze statues of children. I feel like playing along when I see these statues.

The School Children
Working for the Vancouver School Board at the head office, I meet mostly adult students, staff, and school principals. If I want to see the school children, I walk to the nearest school ground during lunch break. Children are full of life, wonder and eager to learn. They are innocent, playful, and trusting.
One morning, I was greeted by these notes. These notes put a smile on my face and made my day. I wonder who it was good enough to write the notes. It’s rather a kind gesture.

Love the statues and the idea that people would stick messages on them.

OMG…those statues are simply wonderful and what a blessing to see them each day. I forgot how to be child-like. I’m grateful to the person who taught me that there is a child in my adult body who wants to be free! I’m having to parent my childish behavior and encourage my child-like behavior.

Never ever grow up. Keep that child like mind in an adult body.

How wonderful! I worked as a teaching assistant in the 80s and 90s. Children can be amazing!
Lately, I have the opportunity to spend time with my choir-director and her three children ( all under four years of age ). This is an immense source of joy every time.

As an adult, I learn a lot from children. My wish for them that they may retain the natural sense of wonder and inate love. I’m glad you are receiving the joy of all joys. Cheers.
