Elysha and I have taken our kids to the Ben & Jerry’s in Canton many times. We meet Elysha’s parents in the shopping center for dinner and then walk over to the ice cream shop for dessert.
On Sunday, we discovered that the sidewalk outside Ben & Jerry’s had been painted with an obstacle course of sorts, inviting kids to hop, skip, dance, and more.
Clara and Charlie loved it. It converted a previously ordinary slice of sidewalk into something different and special.
It’s a good reminder:
It often takes very little to bring joy into this world. A kind word, a simple act of generosity, the acknowledgment of a job done well, or in this case, the creative use of a little paint that converted a slab of cement into a playful adventure for children and a wonderful memory for me.
An ounce of creativity and a smidgen of effort can really make a difference in this world.
