#MicroblogMondays: Reaping what is sown

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.




On Sunday, Grey decided we were overdue for doing some peach picking. So after confirming that there were still peaches to be had, we loaded everyone in the car and made our way out to a local orchard.

The Beats are at an age where picking fruit off a tree or a bush is both highly entertaining for them but also productive for us as they now are able to follow directions and help with selecting quality fruit. As they filled their bags, I found myself able to have a quiet moment, watching them and seeing how they not only interacted with the trees, but also those around them. There was kindness and care in those interactions, regardless whether it was plant, animal or even mineral.

Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you."

    That is such an awesome statement, on so many levels. Thanks for the beautiful reminder that positive echos still exist. *hugs*
