Lessons from My Grandchildren

My grandchildren are an endless source of enlightenment for me.

​In particular, I love to observe them as they play, see how they play, what they play with, and listen to their descriptions of what they are doing.  

Through play, they teach themselves and practice new skills. They demonstrate focus and presence just by being who they are at this moment in time. 

Here are a few of the lessons I have learned from my grandchildren. Lessons that reminded me that our spirit guide, Red Feather, had something to say on the subject as well.

Helping others is important even if you don’t know how. Even if all you do is trip over the rake and pull it in the wrong direction, it is the willingness that matters.
​
Besides that, it’s good for them to ask for your help and allow you to support them.
​
“When you seek the support of others you are allowing them to serve. As they serve, they grow spiritually. They invite positive things into their lives because they served you.”
​

 - Red Feather
Sometimes you just have to feel what you’re feeling, then you can let it go.

“When you acknowledge how you feel, you are honoring that place inside that wants to have a tantrum. There is nothing wrong with having a tantrum, but you don’t want to stay stuck in it.

If you don’t allow the tantrum it turns into depression. Then things become harder and harder, and the tests and challenges become harder. You will have to go back and forth constantly going over the same bumps. So you might as well have the tantrum; kick and stomp the floor like a two year old just to get it out of your system. Then you can clear it. Take a deep breath, and say, “Thank you for having this tantrum, now I can move forward.”

It is enough just to walk in the door with a smile and be who you are. Hugs are of course an added benefit.

“It is not what you do or have. It is who you are that is a gift.”

- Red Feather

A good day is when you get to play all day long with the people you love, doing something fun,

​take a long, warm bath,
and snuggle up in bed with a good book. It’s OK to do this every day. In fact, it is preferable.

“Being who you are is enough.”
