Grandma’s Backyard

My little niece is an aspiring writer. Though only about a decade old (give or take a few years), her mind is full of deep thoughts and self reflection and positivity. Image above is a story she wrote last year about my mom’s backyard…her grandma’s backyard. She sent me a copy in the mail and I thought I’d post it for a couple of reasons:

1. Sometimes I wish I was just a simple, naive, positive kid again, and
2. If you choose to read it, it just might soften you up a little bit…

It did me. Thanks for the reminder Lauren- this world is a “great masterpiece” indeed. Albeit in your mind or reality, you need to keep it that way.
