Besides studying, researching and playing with the baby, I actually did celebrate Earth Day in my own way today. Gross as it may sound, I saved water by opting out of taking a shower. I also took my daughter on a walk and we enjoyed nature together. I think she saw ducks and geese up-close for the first time today (earlier in the week she saw horses). Tonight, while she was in the bathtub I shared the creation story with her. Even though she's only 9 and 1/2 months old and couldn't make sense of what I was saying, I still felt like it was a good thing to do. Just a few ways I celebrated Earth Day today. How did you celebrate?

ReplyDeleteChildren learn much more from us than the things we try to convey in words. Thanks for bringing back some memories of nonverbal spiritual experiences I had as a (slightly older) child.
