Another month has passed since my last update, and we’re now one month into Spring. Based on the calendar, that is. At my latitude, warm seasons are not so warm, and quite “lazy”. Spring and Summer tends to come late and leave early, just like some co-workers.
Anyway, that’s not an excuse for slacking like them! My little girl turned one recently, and in these twelve months she has shown me what determination, focus and energy can do for you.
I remember like yesterday the days when she could barely lift her belly from the ground. She wanted to crawl around, but her tiny body was not strong enough. Yet, she wanted it so badly that she kept trying even in her cot! Instead of “wasting time” sleeping, she exercised night and day. Just two months later, she’s now standing up on her legs, all by herself, and she can enjoy short outdoor walks together with mum and dad, and see all the colours of Spring.
This has been a great result for her, who, until recently, was completely depending on others to satisfy her curiosity. Sure, this will lead her to new dangers (for some reasons, glowing coals, sharp thorns and stinging bugs are irresistible), but also to new discoveries, and that’s what she’s focusing on.
My thought for today is, therefore, learn from your child. Forget the “adult arrogance” of knowing better, don’t become a prisoner of your bad experiences. Also, don’t become lazy, thinking that it’s enough for today. Rejoice for your results, and look for more! Once you reach them, keep moving, and you’ll be amazed by the amount of discoveries and experiences you’ll have made in just a few days!
Time for an adventure, let’s go!
