It is early March and this month is meant to be a Spring month, yet winter still keeps its stern grip around the weather, the ground, the trees and the temperature... It is not really winter and it is not really spring, something in between; the thermometer show -15 degrees Celsius at night, during the day, the sun is shining off a bright blue sky and warms up the air and the ground to approximately +1 degrees Celsius - this phenomenon occurs apparently quite often up in the northern part of Sweden, and is referred to as 'The 5th Season'.... I learnt about this earlier this week, never heard it before. Feels great learning new things! Important to remember; learning small and complex things every day!
Both Axel (7) and Leah (5), our gorgeous children, love snow but the other day their appreciation of it came to an end...; Mum, will there ever be summer this year? queried both of them in chorus..... My answer was slightly hesitant as my thoughts had moved around in similar circles, 'I certainly hope so', I answered....
Mum, the sun shines on my head and neck! It feels like summer in my neck, shouted Leah with a big smile on her face.
Let's go there then! Axels face was filled with joy as he responded to Leah's remark.
What a joy it is to listen to their way of expressing themselves; no limitations, no worries around how it sounds, full access to freedom of expression!!
We have got great things to learn from children and young human beings!
Create a fabulous weekend for yourself! Try something new or better still 'be outrageous'!!!: whatever that means to you, are you the only one that can say!
