Are you becoming a more jaded person? The simple things that used to give you simple pleasure: a great cup of coffee, a kid's giggle fit: are leaving you cold. So before you lose sight of the wonders of the world, you need to try to dig up some of your old idealistic tendencies today! They aren't gone: they just need to be thawed out. Give yourself time to be alone. Let yourself be impressed by the magic that is around you every day. Smile at a stranger when they smile at you.
