Splish Splash were taking a bath, in the mud!

It rained all of last night. Wet and miserable night, and I have to admit its been quiet a grey day all day too. Boy C and Girl P were really doing a lot of mischeif, so Joe, asked me to take them on a walk. I decided to head down a new route. Perhaps not a mistake, but it was deft a very wet and muddy road. As were walking down the road, the children start to spash around in the puddles as children do, but the spashing soon litterally turned into swimming. Now how much can you say to a young child! I guess ultimetely not much. So by the end of the walk, these children were drowned in muddy water! At least they had a lot of fun. The joy of being a child. I'm sure if I would have done something like that as a child, I would have had a few slaps from mum... Maybe more than a few slaps!

On a side note, I have to add yet again, the walks and hills around here are absolutely stunning. I decided to take a different route this time. Just me, the kids and the stunning hills... It was inspiring to say the least. Being one with nature for a while. My thoughts could not dwell on anything but the divine, oh and the kids spashing in the muddy water!

You know as I was sitting there, something struck me. These kids are so happy. They all have aids or don't have parents, or are in some way in probably a worse situation than certainly myself and perhaps most people reading this, and yet they seem so happy. Whist I was taking Boy C and Girl P for a walk today, they were so happy splashing in the puddles, playing in the mud and just generally getting dirty. I'm sure they know that they don't have a mum or dad, yet they seemed so happy by it.

Likewise some of the other kids that were sitting in the living room, whilst I was in the middle of thoughts. They both of aids but they were sitting there playing around, as if nothing was wrong. I guess this is one thing about children, their inner divinity just shines through. It is beautiful to see. As an adult, a small mishap and I am down for such a long time, perhaps I go into long term depression. Yet a child, you tell it to stop misbehaving, and it goes into a strop for about 20mins and then it is back to its usual happy self.
