"It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living."

A November Walk

      

 














I wish you could see the way her face lights up the minute we step onto a dirt path. A world of make believe opens up for her and before you know it you are off searching for fairies, trying to keep them safe and warm in your pockets, just to keep the smile on her face. She knows the joy that comes with time spent outdoors, and as a parent I know I'm doing something right by letting her learn on her own that these walks nurture our spirits and remind us that happiness is always right around the corner, should we choose to open our eyes to it.

  2. I love the quote too, such self confidence and exuberance. Nothing like a nature walk to heal the soul. So sorry to hear of your towns losses, loved the concept of turning a light on to show hope and life going on. May many more fairies visit your community.

    1. Oh, she is full of self confidence and exuberance, a trait that she gets from her dad I think. :)

      Our town is healing, but it will take time as these things do. Thank you Kirsty for your kind words.
