The White Snowmobile

The snow is flying behind him as he speeds across the open field. His white snowmobile gleams in the sparkling snow. Nothing ahead of him for miles, as he presses harder on the throttle and the engine roars. The thrill of speed and the cold air that is hitting his face. He grins at the glory of this moment.

“Mom! Look at my new white snowmobile!” He yells to me across the living room. I sit on the couch feeding Sebs, enjoying watching his imagination come to life. In reality, he sits in a footrest turned upside down, the legs of it being his handlebars. But I know that in his mind, it truly is a beautiful snowmobile, top of the line. In his mind this is real.

It’s amazing to watch them play, their imaginations soaring. There really are no limits here - Want to go on a lion safari in Africa? Let’s go! Should we head up moose hunting? Or maybe to Florida? Let’s go fishing! The rug is the water now, quick! Get in the boat or you will sink to the bottom of the lake!

One simple item, such as a footrest, holds so many possibilities. There is no room for boredom when there are endless opportunities all around them.

Do you dream, without any limits? Do the daily items around you inspire you with their limitless possibilities? It’s so easy to become stuck in life. What we see is what we get; this is what our life is. But to look at the same routine that we’ve been in and find a different way. To see if we can create a new option.

Find your own version of that gleaming white, top of the line snowmobile and let your imagination go!
