SMALL MOMENTS

Today was one of those mornings were a lot of crying/whining=a lot of curious george. But then I decided enough of this! Isabella put your shoes on we are going on a walk. She ran to get her Wow Wow and the three of us trekked out the backdoor into our never ending backyard. Our backyard has a little wooden fence that really serves no purpose since it ends half way so we really can walk forever on our landlords land. He owns about three acres and said we were welcome to walk on it anytime. We were pleasantly surprised to walk out and find 80 degree weather.
So here we went the three of us. I gave Old MacDonald a horrible rendition as Isabella made mooo and woof woof sounds. We walked without any notion of time or destination. Walking through fields of grass and long weeds reminded me so much of my childhood. We used to hop private fences like it was nothing and just explore people's properties. I remember sitting on dried cow poop piles thinking they were rocks like it was yesterday. I loved seeing hints of spring everywhere. A brighter green here and there, little purple flowers starting to sprout.
Towards the end of our walk we discovered a little pond and decided to make that our spot. Isabella mastered the art of throwing rocks and I just sat there soaking in the moment. We walked back home flushed, rosy cheeked and refreshed. This little walk shifted our whole day and gave us that breather we both needed.  It truly is by small and simple things isn't it?
