Just Sayin’: Childlike Wonder
Albert Einstein is quoted as saying that there are two ways to live life: “One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
Children are experts at the latter, and I’m jealous of them for it. The reason they live as though everything is a miracle, I think, is because of the way they view the world. Many of the things you experience as a kid, you experience for the first time.

British singer Adele released her album, titled “25,” Nov. 20. Adele’s single “Hello” initiated some hype in late October and continues to be a favorite among her followers.
“Hello” can be interpreted as a cry to a young love from an earlier time after which wounds have not been healed, despite the time that has passed: “They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing. ... But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore.”
