the walk down


still working part time with kids. took this pic today with my cell, as we walked down the kindergardeners from their school to the Y. the walk down is always an adventure, especially with the younger ones, never a dull moment between them running off the sidewalk unexpectedly and kicking peoples recycle bins for no reason. but I love them all to pieces, they mean the world to me, and I cannot imagine my life without them.

today my partner in line was this little girl named Charlie, a real sweetheart. she asked me this "do you like spring? even with all the ugly days like this?" I was a bit confused, just muttered I guess so, how 'bout you, type of thing. "I love it" she says, "just look at all the beautiful colours... the greens and the pinks and the.. " as she continued on naming every colour we saw as we were walking. it was incredible, to share that with her, to be reminded to take the time and look around to appreciate the beauty in the world around you, in such a simplistic way. she truly made my day.
