In our fast paced world in which we live in it is often
great to take time out and be mindful of what is going on around us. Whether
that means slowing down as we get to grips with learning new skills to walking
at toddler speed through the main hospital stopping now and again to peer
through the windows that look out on the road below.
Clearly he hadn't taken
notice of the foliage around him, the worm that was struggling to make its way
across the path, the bird song that could be heard from the trees above and the
dragonflies that hovered about the buttercups. Just by stopping, using all our
senses and looking all around us, we can discover so much about our beautiful world.
That is why I'm so excited to be taking part in The 30 Days Wild campaign. It’s a chance to slow down, learn a great deal about our country,
create wonderful memories and help our local wildlife to thrive.
So will you be joining us in slowing down during the month
of June and connecting with the natural world?
Slowing down and stopping to look at the world around us is such a great thing to do. It's one of the things I love most about parenthood - seeing the world again through a child's eyes and taking things at a slower pace. Love the sound of the 30 Days Wild campaign :-) #FamilyFun
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is. I'm sure your girls would love getting involved in the campaign.
DeleteI love taking photos as I think it forces you to slow down and really look. I'll follow your link and check out the campaign too. TY for linking up to #FamilyFun 🎉
ReplyDeleteI so know what you mean about photos they are a great way of seeing the world, making memories and being mindful of our world.
DeleteOh this is lovely - such a good reminder of the beautiful things in life. I definitely find slowing down can be a wonderful thing to do with my toddler. And I needed to read this post today - I'm inspired to get outside, even if it's just in my garden, I need it. I'll check out the challenge too. Thank you for sharing with #familyfun
ReplyDeleteAww thank you. I'm pleased it has touched you and inspired you to get outside.
DeleteThis is so true, sometimes we forget to just take a step back and enjoy what's going on around us. It's great that you managed to find the beautiful things in nature that sometimes manage to slip through the net. I look forward to reading about your challenge as you complete it. Thanks for linking up with me on #CountryKids.
ReplyDeleteChildren are fantastic for slowing us down and taking in everything like sponges. We just have to be careful what we teach them.
DeleteI agree, it is lovely to just slow down and enjoy life :) Lovely picture ..

DeleteOh, I like the sound of the 30 days wild campaign, going to have to check that out. I'm all for slowing down and appreciating what's around us. Looks like you had a lovely walk x
ReplyDeleteWe'd gone in search of geocaches but some weren't there. The picturesque Cotswolds more than made up for this in my mind.
