it could be a combination of a few things that have contributed to my son seeming more calm & grounded lately: - his dad and i communicating a little better 🙉 - me finally cleaning the house 😅 - my inner work on my nervous system 🩵 - tapping back into my micro-dosing practice 🍄 i'm feeling very grounded & happy currently with how things are feeling and posting this to share my gratitude & inspiration 💚🐣✨

the mind is funny sometimes. it argues & fights against what the heart & body know to be true. my son argued & complained the whole way over to the pond the other day. I had this brilliant idea to ride bikes to a sweet little pond near our house bring a picnic be calmed by the waters... then i thought "ooohhh! when i pick him up from his homeschool co-op i'll take us to a little organic cafe & buy him a cookie. then we can take our treats to the pond and have the most lovely afternoon!" On our way to the cafe, he complained. He didn't want to go to THAT cafe. He wanted gelato. We got to the cafe he whined & complained that he didn't want a treat from there. My friend who owns the cafe is a mama too & she helped me stay calm & present I stayed calm the whole time despite the urge to get upset. I ordered 1 peanut butter cookie & 1 brownie He said he didn't want any & i said that's fine, i could eat both 😉 We finally ride our bikes about a mile to the pond. we arrive & settle & lay out a blanket He gets a few bites in him of the other food i brought we sit there quietly & eat. I requested it since I was tired of the griping Then some duck friends come over and geese & coots & lots & lots of them! I see his whole energy change from just 20 minutes or so in nature His fatigue drops away his irritation diminishes and he becomes fully present. eating our picnic, feeding the birds being present, wild, & free we both end up barefoot on the earth, surrounded by ducks keeping perfectly still so we can observe their beauty learning about local birds truly enjoying each other's presence. then it's time for desert 😜 we each get half of each treat they are delicious he says, "i didn't realize they would be this good." i giggle. "it's ok buddy" i say i love you
