Be healthy like a child today. Plan your day like a child with nothing to do. In 2021 this date was on a Saturday, the first day of my transition from full-time employment to part-time, with nineteen days to do whatever I wanted before I started working again. I spent most of that time reading. My inner parent kept reminding my inner child of all the chores, projects, and obligations waiting for me, but my inner child ignored such ideas.

Today, indulge in anything that makes your heart as happy as a child. After your joyful day, record all the wonderful things you saw, felt, and experienced. Offer thanks for the child in you:

On this autumn day, allow my

inner child to thrive. Whatever

comes to mind, I will welcome

it with the joy of a child.
