something I am grateful for today

That I retain a capacity to enjoy things that are intended for young children. If it's well done, I can still derive substantial pleasure from it. For example, the Ramona books and TV series. For another, I'm currently reading Happy Happy Clover**. This is an aspect of myself that I fully appreciate, in part because I have a deep and long-standing desire to create something of my own for children that is truly well done...

Oh, the looks I get. [From my own family, even.] But hey, I'm good.

I'm good.


** - I love that Clover isn't just happy, she's happy happy! :D
