walking barefoot on the beach

At work today went for a long walk on the beach, I decided to walk bare foot. From now on I'm going to try and.do something everyday, that I wouldn't normally do.
After all that is what we try and get the kids we work with to do. I really think that demonstrating and role modeling is the way to go. At times it was hard,  sometimes a little uncomftable. But at other times it felt so good, connected with nature.
So lovely walking along on a nice day getting lost in your thoughts, think that's what I wanted our young person to learn or at least start learning today. That it is OK to just be. Sometimes life can be so chaotic xso busy its just nice to take a little time out to chill.

I do love my job, sometimes its hard, devastingly so. But other times it seems like we really do make a difference. Even for a short while, taking the child that grew up in the chaos of the city, getting then to sit and look at a lake, stare at the sea. And then afterwoods they tell you "that was cool " that makes you feel good inside.
Maybe there is hope for humanity
