Can’t Even Describe How Fun It Was

“It was so fun! If I could have stayed in for recess to keep working on it, I would have. I loved it! I can’t even describe how fun it was.” -Thomas says to me me during our afternoon walk today.
He had a lesson today on degrees, angles, and fractions ….
I find this one named Thomas so interesting …
On another note, it began hailing during our walk. The wind was blowing too. When wind blows hail into your face, it hurts a little! Yet, it was a GREAT walk!
Everything Flows Onward

Absolutely wonderful sunset walk with Thomas and Lillian. We walked around the entire wetland loop. A FIRST FOR LILLIAN!!! Its between 4 to 5 miles long. We had so much fun giggling, enjoying the views as we walked, and reminiscing about the past ….
Changes, fun, adventures, growth, letting go, more fun, miles of walking, and more adventures. Love, sweet love.
“All things change, nothing is extinguished. There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.” -Ovid
Making Errands Fun
**THROWBACK POST**

Making errands fun = Stop at the park.
Remove shoes and throw the football with son while feeling squishy wet grass between the toes.
Plus, walking barefoot in the leftover snow.
And rolling down a hill.
And playing with a paper airplane kite.
And they lived happily ever after.
The End.
I Could Stay Out Here Forever

Thomas loved our date day hike yesterday. Some of his thoughts while we were way up there … “I could stay out here forever. I feel like I can do anything. This is the best day of my life. I am so glad that we did this. And he thanked the sun for warming us (it was cold)!!”
Now he wants to go hiking on the Tahoe Rim Trail and become a member of the 160 mile club. I think that sounds like an awesome idea for this young man … and his Mamma!!
Wonderful and Peaceful

Dreamy and Crazy Cool Clouds and Walking on Water
One Way We Use The Gift of Nature
**THROWBACK POST**
February 9 2016:
“I think, Lillian worries, Camilla just is.” – Thomas wisdom shared last night as we were reading in my bed before going to sleep …
He had a rough day yesterday. He made a choice at school that caused an un-lovely consequence.
On the ride home I let him know he could not use his digital time as he overused it in the morning. By the time we got home he was in much distress. He had a full blown meltdown when he got home and I knew we needed to go for a walk.
I shared how unhealthy it is to not let oneself feel and experience anger and other negative emotions. That we must find that place where we can let ourself feel it physically, being with it, and without hooking into the story of the negative emotion; which can cause us to be harsh with others.
Nature is a wonderful guide during times like these, times when we resist feeling the rawness of life. About an hour after our walk Thomas had settled into acceptance and we had a great night. May you take advantage of the gift of nature when needed. xoxo
The Harmony of Nature by Camilla Downs
“The world slows
Time nearly stops
And I see.
I see your differences
I see the contrast.
I see what you impart.
You shine light
Upon the harmony of nature
So that I may see the
Oneness of nature and
The oneness of humanity
I am held in your loving
Embrace to have the all of all
Poured into my open heart.
And I say, yes, I see and
I will share and shine the light.” -2016 Camilla Downs – Author, Lessons from Nature
