If you had the chance today, to meet the seven year old child that was you, choose five words to describe that child, and then say if it still accurately describes your character.

My five words...

- Earnest.

- Artistic.

- Clown.

- Eager.

- Independent.

Although I feel I've had my eyes opened to many things since that age, religion for example, I still think those descriptive words could be applicable now, though I'd probably use more expansive choices.

What about you?

Are you still basically the same person you were at seven years old, or have you changed beyond all recognition?
Thoughtfulness.

Perception.

Honesty.

Loving, and blessed with

a good sense of Humour.

Qualities that were presented to me at an early age. I have lived up to some, but am sometimes found wanting in others!
