the kid in me appears and reappears with every step I take inside of Wrigley Field. It is truly a second home to me...not because I'm a season ticket holder, but simply because there is no place on earth, honestly, that I feel more at home, more at ease, and more like 'this is what living the good life is.'
Whether with friends or family, in the seats or in the bleachers, there is nothing that says 'life' more than 'a day at the ballpark,' for me anyway....watching friends laugh or families gather or grandfathers hug...all of those sights have a feeling of 'escape' for me----as if each group, friends, families, or grandparents, escape in the moments under a bright blue sky and the crack of a bat-----without another care in the world....
the kid in me also reappears with every new discovery from my 7 month old girl...yesterday was Jordan's first real experience 'crawling' in the grass....it was her uncomfortable discovery of the grass that brought me back to being a child, no cares in the world, no worries, just the smell of fresh cut grass and grass stained jeans that made me light up inside...am I a sucker for childhood all over again? You're damn right I am...chasing my other daughter, 2 1/2, around our yard, watching her curls bounce through the sunlight, honestly puts me at an ease I never knew existed...her giggle and my yearning for yester-year will forever keep me smiling....
a kid forever
