Quiet Moments


Saturday. From September to March, we are usually busy every weekend with hockey and ringette. Practices, games, etc... This year, the kids are in spring activities, but as luck would have it, the activities are only during the week. That means no early mornings and no weekend games or practices. It felt a bit strange today, being able to wake up and not really know what our plans were! I actually ended up going to a yoga/pilates fusion class (and even enjoyed it despite the fact that I could not do the up-in-the-air-leg-splaying move). The kids both had a quiet morning, and they even were able to curl up with good book for while today! As important as it is to keep kids busy and active, part of healthy living also has to include those quiet moments where there are no electronics, no planned activities, and just some time to be by yourself. Nourishment of the mind, body and soul...that's what today was about for our family, and it was a great day!
