Today
when I asked my 6 year old boy how his day was, he told me he had filled 2
peoples "buckets."
I wasn't sure
what he was talking about so I asked him to explain and he blew me away with his
answer.
He
said he thinks people have an invisible bucket filled with "good stuff" and
sometimes when a persons bucket gets low he likes to help people fill theirs
back up.
I had
never head him talk about this before and it wasn't something we taught him. It
was just the way he saw the world and other people and it made my heart
melt.
I
asked him how he filled other peoples buckets and he said with hugs or helping
people pick up things they dropped. He is such an inspiration and our family
will definitely use the "bucket" idea to make sure everyone we come in contact
with is topped up.
Such a
simple and yet impactful idea of how to spread a little happiness in the
world. Sometimes letting ourselves think more like a child creates the best
ideas.
