This week I am grateful for having meaningful rewarding work, and the wonderful support I have had from family and friends. Mr Bowerbird and Nanna and Pa were a huge help with the kid juggle, and a good friend stepped in when my best laid plans went awry.
This week has been very seedy, in the best possible way. I have been working with a lovely old friend on an art project at Art Play. I have got to play with kids from underprivileged backgrounds, exploring seeds, making seeds, making boats, creating ideas, launching boats, making land art and discovering nature. It's been a huge week and I am especially grateful to my good friend for including me in her seed extravaganza, it was a great start to the project and may be the beginning of a new work relationship.
I am amazed how different the lives of my children can be, from those not living very far away, and I am very grateful for everything we can give them.

Like Maxabella I am grateful for generally being a pretty happy person, I know we don't all get wired that way and it is indeed a privilege.
I am also seriously grateful I don't have to work all the time, I send a bow of admiration to all the working mothers out there.
Kirsty, this art project sounds like an amazing thing to get to be a part of. Art is a wonderful life, no doubt about it. I love watching creativity and imagination and reflection develop into something important. Combine that with good deeds and it is truly remarkable. x

What a great project to be part of. I'm sure you're gaining just as much from it as they are. x
ReplyDeleteYour seedy goings on sound like much fun! It must've been such a thrill to see the boats being launched by the kids! A lovely project.
ReplyDeleteMaxabella, kids just do art so well, land art was particularly kid friendly.
ReplyDeleteBrenda and Leanne, very extraordinary and wonderful, a year of collecting seeds.
Jode, I love working with natural materials - there for everyone.
Kellie I definitely get as much from the kids if not more. They were giving me special hugs at the end and saying we want to do more art. melts your heart
