the need for nature

       Last night it hit me: My camera has gathered dust. It’s been neglected, which ultimately means that I’ve been stuck in this stupid non-productive rut for far too long. So this morning, I grabbed my trainers, a banana, some water and my camera and headed for a walk with Georgie through Athalassa park. Even while I was sweating like a pig and spooked by noises in the bushes- I’ve had a big black ol’ snake cross my path a couple of times and let me tell you I was not impressed!- I promised myself I will do this as often as possible.    We should all make more of an effort to satisfy our need for nature. Being outdoors, felt good.

    I’ve been feeling a tad underproductive these past few weeks. Always meaning to blog, always meaning to take Georgie on a long drive somewhere nice, always meaning to do this, that and the other.

a lucky boy

     Georgie is a lucky boy. I am a firm believer in luck and know my child is blessed with so much goodness in his life, I can’t help but be grateful. He has a family who loves him. One that would die for him. I read and hear about children being abandoned or neglected everyday all around the world and realize that anything beyond love and health is simply embellishment in the life of a child. Don’t get me wrong. I know how important a new toy is but isn’t a walk to the park just as special to a two-year old? Georgie is lucky he has a papa who works so very hard to give him everything including a mummy who can be with him everyday. I hope he will grow up to appreciate the little things as well as the more expensive.

little boys…

      -climb everything and anything! Benches, tables, chairs, washing machines, dogs, people.

– shout and hit you whenever you pull them away from something like a staircase.

– insist on emptying the shampoo bottle on the floor.

-insist on emptying EVERYTHING on the floor.

– find it absolutely hilarious when there’s yoghurt and rice all over them. And the dog …who is lurking around the highchair relishing said yoghurt and rice bombings.
