This past weekend, I got the chance to spend a lovely couple of hours with Lady M and Bubbers, taking a walk around campus and enjoying the sunshine. I, of course, brought my camera with me, and as we walked and visited fountains and picked up sticks and ran in the grass, I snapped a couple hundred photos. Going through them later, I realized that I could learn a lot from my Bubbala.[Aside: Near the end of the walk, Bubs was getting tired and slowing down a bit, so every so often I would turn around and say, "Come on, Bubbala!" After a few times of this he repeated me, saying, "Bubbala!" as he ran to catch up. So cute!]
So, here is Thursday Thirteen #10...
Thirteen things I've decided I need more of in my life, following in Bubbala's footsteps:
1. Noticing the little things.
2. Taking walks.
3. Investigating new discoveries.
4. Enjoying my favorite foods.
5. Looking at things from a different perspective.
6. Practicing new skills.
7. Romping through fields of flowers.
8. Exploring the world.
9. Celebrating small victories.
10. Being silly.
11. Reaching out to others.
12. Laughing.And of course, most important of all:
13. Taking time to play with the ones who love me.

Lara,
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I am so excited to have discovered yours. I love it and am going to put you on my blogroll.
I can't wait to read your archives!!!
What a cutie.
Those are lovely photos! He is such a active little boy. Thank You for coming to my blog. I don't think I have ever been to yours. I glad that I didn't miss my chance.
Isn't it funny how easily children can teach adults about the wonders of the world?
Thanks for stopping by my TT13!
That is a great list! I learn a lot when I take care of my two nephews. We love to laugh. Thanks for stopping by!
Precious child1 Precious friendship! Thanks for visiting my blog. I, too, love learnning. Even more, I have always loved watching children learn--it is a privilege to see the light come on when they accomplish something new.
i'm a father and a teacher. I have 3 kids. You're right when you say that life is an ongoing process. Unfortunately, few do notice that it's a very short one.
"for when you die
it's the same
the space between is but an hour
the same duration of a flower"
there is a proverb in my culture that says "
Two people never get enough; the one who seek knowledge and and the one who seeks money"
Life is short
Knowledge has no limits
Time is...
too short for those who rejoice
too swift for those who fear
too long for those who grieve
too slow for those who wait
but for those who love...time is ETERNITY
this is by far the best list I have read this week. thanks for making me smile
I really enjoyed this post. You've served up the life in the day of a child I could digest in about 20 seconds. And, I feel my day has been made much brighter.
Great list! I'm not much of a one for romping through flowers but I agree with how necessary all the others are. Especially being silly -- I'm good at that.
