Noodle Thoughts - Chasing Rabbits

6/26/2012

"Mom! We're looking for rabbits!"  My son says excitedly as he and his older cousins from Florida search for bunnies in Grandma's backyard.  "Oh, really?"  I ask.  My son looks back at the older boys who have now spotted a perfectly good slide to jump off of.

For them, this conversation is over.  Jumping from great heights has now trumped chasing rabbits.  My son innocently turns to me and excitedly yells from across the yard....... "We're not talking about that anymore Mom!"  He shrugs his shoulders and runs off to jump, to fly, to........give me a heart attack.  

Whether it be chasing rabbits or diving from great heights, my son gives 100 percent.  I can see it in his face, full of sweat and dirt.......full of heart and soul.  He listens and he listens hard.  He takes it in and holds it with passion, dedication and determination.  

Just the other day, he was playing on the basketball court with my husband and saw a lollipop stick.  He stopped his game and told my husband, "Dad this is garbage.  We have to throw this out.  It's not good for the earth."  

He is an inspiration.  He stops me in my tracks.  He is my teacher.

    Welcome to the Noodles On The Wall Blog, a place where I share the trials and tribulations of a creative noodle maker. (That's me!) My life is full of noodles and I've learned it takes a dash of inspiration and a pinch of creativity to throw them up on the wall to see if they stick. Hope you stick around!
