Get to Nature!

It really does sooth the soul.

Just the other day my granddaughter, who is just over four months old, was fussing. She does that before she takes a bit of a nap. She doesn’t like the binky, so all you can do is walk and sway while patting her butt. Finally, I took her outside and she succumbed.

Backstory: Same with my grandson. On a side note, I wonder if my granddaughter will try to eat leaves and tiny rocks, too.

My daughter told me the other day that she and her husband are buying a pop-up camper. They talked about how they were going to take the kids to nature. My response: ‘Can I go?’

Backstory: My mom and dad had a pop-up camper. Good times. We were always out and about somewhere. We loved fishing, hiking, being around the campfire, making S’mores – just being outdoors.

I told my daughter of this and of course, I piped up that it is so like my parents. Wait for it – you knew there had to be some woo-woo, yes?

Did I mention to you that I and others think Royce, my grandson, is my dad incarnate? He’s been to the fire station twice and always wants to go back. My dad was a firefighter for 34 years. That’s just one instance – too many to name here.

Well, a psychic medium gave me a message before my granddaughter, Persephone, was born. She said that my mom was coming back. Nothing to note as of yet; however, she does have blue eyes at this point. My dad had blue eyes. I wonder if that’s what hooked my mom. The shoes on the other foot now. I have an idea that baby girl is going to tell her big brother a thing or two someday.  

After a moment, I said to my daughter: ‘Thanks for the fond childhood memory.’  

I am sure my grandson will have a blast with camping, just like I did when I was little. Interestingly enough I did not take my daughter and son from another mother camping. We did go canoeing though.

And just the other day, I mentioned to my grandson that it wouldn’t be long, and we’d be going to the beach, another fabulous place to allow nature into your life. We got super excited about that!

Get out to nature. Take a load off. I know firsthand what nature does for little ones. Think about what it can do for you. Let go and Allow!

Blessing of Peace and Love!
