Hello friends,

When I feel tired or stressed out, I go for a walk. The nature is beautiful where I live. So it’s always a good way to turn off my mind from daily challenges, and think more about spiritual, philosophical things.

I rarely think about it during the regular working hours. My working hours include not only art lessons but also doing mom’s job like cooking and cleaning.

I understand why business workers who live in big cities get so mich stress. They don’t have enough time even for their families, not talking about their own personal quiet time. I am blessed that I don’t have to rush my life and that my husband wants me to spend more time with kids at home and work as many hours as I feel comfortable with. We are old style family, and we like it that way.

We often go for a walk to a big park, sometimes we even drive somewhere far, and walk there for hours. Kids usually run around under my husband’s supervision, while I take photos.

I hope to get a lot of beautiful photos during spring break. Fingers crossed n one will get sick like during winter break 🤞.

The photo below looks like a flower with eyes and mouth. It reminds me of some popular character from youtube. My kids don’t know them, and I heard about them from my students. One student wanted to draw it…
Ok, I remember them now, it’s called Kissy Missy and Huggy Wuggy. They look like distorted Cookie Monster and Elmo, with scary teeth. It’s unbelievable that modern kids buy staffed toys like that and they are not afraid of them:-)
