mindfulness

trying to live in the moments more and more each day. but when the sun is shining and the breeze is warm, it can be done so easily.

we explored the back yard today. the blessings of living on an old farm mean that there is lots of land free to be discovered.

we walked:

walking-the-field

we poked:

poking-the-rock

we threw:

he-throws-the-rock

we sat:

sitting-by-the-brook

we loved our space in this world:

enjoying-the-river

this many!

“i’m this many,” he says, tucking his thumb in and pointing four long fingers to the sky.

“how many is that?”

“FOUR!” he delcares.

i almsot can’t believe it (save the not-so-faint memories of joys and struggles, tears and laughter) my sweet little boy is four today.
