Nothing perks me up when I am feeling down more than taking a walk in mother nature. Is there anything more healing and refreshing than breathing in fresh air and feeling the warm sun on your skin? Aside from our grandbabies, there really isn’t!
Speaking of grandbabies, they, too, remind me of nature itself, as they have that pure and refreshing quality to them that can revive us in ways we didn’t know possible. Here is what I mean:
1. Their boundless energy resembles spring
You know that feeling when the first spring breeze touches your face after a long winter? That’s the kind of energy grandkids bring into our lives! Like spring breathes life into nature, our grandkids invigorate us with their ceaseless enthusiasm and zest for life.
2. Their growth echoes summer
Remember those summer days when you’d see plants shoot up almost overnight? That’s how it feels watching those grandkids of ours grow. Each day, they’re a little taller, a tad wiser, and much more curious (whether we like it or not!).
3. Their changing perspectives are like the falls changing leaves
Ah, the beautiful transition of fall with its mosaic of colors! (Are you sick of me talking about how much I adore the autumn yet?) Much like the changing leaves, grandkids surprise us with their evolving thoughts and views as each stage of their growth brings a new shade of their personality reminiscent of the ever-changing autumn palette.
4. Their periods of somber silence resemble the reflective winter
Every so often, you’ll find your grands in deep thought, with a quiet contemplation echoing the peaceful stillness of a winter’s night. These moments, precious and profound (and, dare I say, rare?), show that beneath the bubbly exterior, there’s a depth that’s evolving and maturing.
5. Their laughter is like raindrops
There’s a certain rhythm to raindrops falling on a rooftop, isn’t there? It reminds me of grandkids’ spontaneous and joyful laughter with its similar musical quality – unexpected, delightful, and utterly refreshing.
6. Their curiosity is as infinite as the sky
Just as we look up and wonder about the vast expanse of the sky, grandkids constantly surprise us with their endless questions. (And yes – they really can be endless, ha!) Every “why” and “how” they throw our way makes us realize the vastness of their curiosity.
7. Their resilience is like an evergreen tree
Aren’t our grandkids just so amazing and inspiring? Through every tumble, mishap, or setback, grandkids show a spirit as resilient as the evergreen trees, standing tall and firm, no matter the season or reason.
8. Their love is as deep and vast as the ocean
Your passion for your grands knows no bounds, and the feeling is mutual! The unconditional love from our grandbabies is much like the vast ocean – deep, boundless, and rejuvenating. Just a hug or a simple “I love you, grandma” from them, and we’re awash with a tidal wave of warmth and affection.
Conclusion
Isn’t it something how the natural world around us and the world of our grandkids intersect so beautifully? They’re both reminders of life’s simple joys and profound moments. Between you and me, grandkids might have the edge over Mother Nature in bringing that twinkle to our eyes. 🙂
