My Little Ball of Joy

Jalen never fails to make me smile or laugh. His boundless imagination is wonderfully unhampered by practicality or reason. If only adults shared the same sense of creativity and optimism. He sees things differently than the rest of us. He drew a picture (he loves to draw) of a "sun portal." This is essentially a solar power grid but shaped like a sun. He doesn't understand why solar power grids had to be a boring rectangular shape and are so completely unimaginative. He sees things not as they are but in an elevated design format. It's quite fascinating sometimes to listen to his ideas and wonder how he comes up with them. I am just gratified that I get to have the joy of listening to him allow his imagination to soar. I hope growing up does not hinder this incredible side of him. That would be an absolute crime.
