It's Never too late to have a Happy Childhood

I walked into the shopping centre and spotted this wonderful little blue ride on car. My 'inner child' wanted to sit in it and have a ride! I dismissed the thought and continued on with my shopping and then headed back to my car to load the shopping in the boot having made a decision to return to another store for a couple of items. I walked back into the shopping centre and spotted the car again. As I approached the car my 'inner child' just wanted to get in and have a ride. I noticed a woman walking very close behind me and I turned and shared my thoughts with her. To my utter delight she said: " Why don't you, I dare you to!" Yayyyyyyy said my 'inner child' a supportive person. I asked her if she would take a photo and I walked up to the car and I looked in and thought to myself: "There's plenty of room for me in there!" I threw my leg over the side and realised my legs would not slide in as expected! Ha ha. I think I had really regressed to being a child and believing I was much smaller. I was so happy and so full of joy that it became the car, the woman and I and the rest of the shopping mall and possible onlookers did not exist! Now I really know how my grandson feels! This was truly living in the moment with not a care in my mind! Then I realised that I might not have the right coins in my purse. I didn't. I needed $3 and I only had a $2 coin. The woman looked in her purse and without a second thought handed me a $1 coin. I took it greedily like a small excited child would and without an ounce of guilt! As a child all I wanted was this experience. The woman walked around as I positioned myself behind the wheel and I saw there was a race track electronic screen in front of me. She dropped the coins in and they fell straight out! She tried again. I tried. Then we realised that it was probably full and wasn't going to work. It didn't matter because she shared with me how perfectly divine our meeting was because of the program she was planning to deliver in our community to support people to heal their 'inner child'. Wow, she was certainly doing her work with healing my 'inner child'. Only this morning I had spoken to another friend about joining with others and working together in a group with other practitioners who wanted to deliver programs for empowering people to live consciously from their hearts. I think I told this woman about three times that I loved her. It is said in a Course in Miracles that Mighty Companions will walk the world with you when you are devoted to awakening to LOVE. 'I' need do nothing, because as 'I' falls away and I surrender to allowing LOVE to flow through me all my needs are met. I am so utterly grateful, so totally joy filled and so full of child like energy at the end of this day! Blessed I AM.
