My life, my love, me

I can see!

I can see so much than I have seen before.

I took the children out today to a nature reserve. It was raining, my husband was at work and I find it more difficult having them alone, but I took them out as it was for them not me.

We were out in the fresh air, rain coats on, hoods up, cool rain coming down. We were walking in the beautiful damp woods, looking for bugs and the children were having a wonderful time, as was I.

I started taking some photos on my phone and then I stopped, and put my phone away. I wanted to live the moment, I wanted to see my happy children and the beauty of my surroundings, I wanted to feel the environment I was in. 

I realised that taking photos to share with others on social networking sites isn't a measure of your life. Also happy times can just be enjoyed there and then for what they are, not recorded to show in order to prove your happiness and life. 

I opened my eyes and my senses and soaked in the beauty of nature and my children playing.

I saw my love and my life, I saw me.
