On my walk today I saw Jamie, about 3 years old, his parents and his little brother. Jamie was jumping in puddles and showing his brother how to do it. He picked up a pebble and threw it into the next puddle showing him how to make the ripples that scattered the reflection of the sky and trees in the world mirror. Then he crouched down and got ready for the mega jump. He launched himself into the next puddle and the muddy water flew everywhere.
His mother said ‘No, Jamie’ as the drops cascaded round us all, and apologised to me.
‘It’s OK ‘ I said ‘it looks fun’ and it did. It was certainly messy. It reminded me, we each have a messy life. Celebrate it today.
