Weekend Reflection.

Seriously tired but had the nicest weekend ever. Relaxing, resulting in being very relaxed feeling rejuvenated, fresh and feeling full of life. All this from just a few hours out in our rural areas watching new life hearing roosters, miniature horses whinnying, kittens meowing for there mum. Children playing in the beautiful surrounds making massively high tree swings. Teenager not sitting on a computer but tinkering with a whipper snipper trying to make it go and feeling pretty proud of himself when it fires up. Enjoying the roar of a grinder as it rips through a metal bar. Country life for kids is so grand. My Dakota had the best day in a long time he hasn't stopped talking about it and making plans of the veggie garden him and his little mate are going to create. Funny I never realized how much information he has soaked up in past few years watching his gran and I create the beauty of a satisfying veggie garden where you actually get the health benefits of all chemical free cold storage free food straight from the vine to your mouth no fear of chemical interactions the crunch of freshly picked beans, cucumbers, radishes ripe and round and carrots so strikingly orange they almost glow out of the ground. Most importantly he has held all the information in his little mind for safe keeping and let all he knew out yesterday to share his knowledge with a child of similar age who has a desire to raise his own vegie patch. From scratch they have the ability to do so from building the supporting edges and strong fence line to keep the animals out. The plan is in place and I intend not to guide unless asked.
All in all what a weekend.

Sharing of yourself a different view of transitioning

Sharing yourself with others and asking nothing in return not only is it rewarding but calming. Knowing that from your heart you are helping someone in need is one of my best past times. Spent the day in the rural surrounds of our great space. Listening to nature watching my son embrace the beginnings of life in week old chicks, piglets, ducks, geese, miniature horses, roosters crowing in the background. Nature in all its peaceful glory helping a friend. So rewarding as she faces her own transition period.

Transitions

Transitions, Transitions, Transitions I have seen a few in my life. Many I have achieved some I am very proud of and some not so. To date my most favourable transition was going from the free life of an ex partner to that of being a single mum. The journey of pregnancy to birth and the previous almost 10 years has been done alone with only the support and yes I admit guidance of my mum (where would we women be with out them) especially once we become mothers in our own right. It just binds a mother and daughter in such a different light. In saying that, my growing into a mother and woman would not have been what it is today had my mum not been there during the last ever so needed supportive years of the trials and tribulations of not knowing what to do to; following my instincts and doing what i think anyway. However when really troubled it would be mum i would call upon. I cannot say I always agreed with her advice but most of the time she was right and I would have to eat the humble pie, but always a lesson learnt.
