In fact, you could split test the title change. Also, your title element in the head element doesn't need to be the same as the article title. Something else to test. No, I didn't read the article, but you're in my RSS feed and I wanted to make sure you knew that retitling is no big deal. You went to a lot of trouble to write, it's worth figuring out how to draw in readers. .-= Dave Doolin´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WebsiteInAWeekend/~3/_Dcv9GWLsBg/" rel="nofollow">Help Haiti Blog Challenge: I’m Yours… All Weekend</a> =-.

Children can teach us "grown-ups" alot. How sad that we forget to be in wonder of it all, we must be born that way, right. Thanks again David for reposting. One of new favorite posts.

Thanks and welcome to Raptitude. Kids amaze me. They can stay in the moment without trying. Sometimes I get jealous, then I remember that the only one telling me I'm <i>not</i> a kid is me. So I lighten up and let myself grow enamored with twigs and puddles again. Hi Amanda. Thanks and welcome to Raptitude. Kids amaze me. They can stay in the moment without trying.

That sense of possibility and exploration that you mentioned as part of childhood is a great loss as we get older. This article does a great job of discussing how we might bring a similar sense of possibility to our lives now. I have to admit that the routine of adult life is one of my biggest stressors! So, this idea of bringing possibility and exploration with you might just help me out :) Thanks for a great article, David. Hi David – This was a good read.
