Learn from Children

It was a joy to take time out of my busy schedule and to spend time in the UK over summer, enjoying the heat wave and spending time with family and friends.

Being with children really teaches you so many things about living in the moment.
So many of us rush through life, planning ahead... and in doing so we really do lose "this moment".

A lakeside walk with my niece, Mia, really inspired me as I watched her truly absorb each and every new experience with openness and total enthusiasm.

Each and every Duck had to be given some food.
There were no concerns at all about wading into the lake, getting wet, in order to reach each duck.



A tree hollow becomes a focus of discovery - we cannot move on without a thorough investigation inside it. She even had to be lifted up inside the tree to see how high the hollow went. No fear of ants, spiders, the dark unknown...

Rocks, pebbles, logs, birds, sheep, butterflies were all spotted with glee and fully appreciated for what they were.





And finally - the joy of eating an ice cream!

It made me realized how much we overlook in life as we race through the day.
After all we only have this moment, so enjoy it fully.
Be childlike and enjoy each and every moment that life offers you.

That way when its time to go, we leave without any regrets and with so many happy memories of life's wonderful experiences.
Each and every moment is a blessing.
