Fascination

"The parents exist to teach the child, but also they must learn what the child has to teach them; and the child has a great deal to teach them." Arnold Bennett

While in Atlanta, Owen and Adam spent a bit of time just sitting and watching the birds that were hanging around outside of Aunt Marsha's condo. Mom Jenny joined in and the three of them enjoyed "nature's show"!

To Owen, this was even better than tv...as he observed the birds swooping down to the many feeders outside the window....eating some seeds...and then flying off again. He also was able to watch the hummingbirds slurp up the sweet sugar mixture in their feeders...their tiny wings fluttering in excitement!

His fascination with the world right outside of the window was such a nice lesson for all of us....(especially those of us that are multi-taskers....and, you grown-ups know who I am talking about!!). It is so important to take the time to observe the world around us...and to find the incredible beauty in nature. It can clear your mind of all of the superfluous stuff that gets in the way during the course of a day.

I challenge you to take 10 minutes out of your day today to sit and look out of your window...and watch the beauty that surrounds you right in your own backyard.

You will be fascinated.

I promise.
