I'm Going To Live Forever and Ever and Ever

Kid's Book Club today was The Secret Garden.  As I expected, the girls LOVED the book and the boys thought it was okay. 

One of the major themes of this book is how healthy it is for children to play outdoors.  So rather than planning activities for the kids, I gave them jump ropes and said, "Get thee out o' doors an feel the soonshine on ya' face!" 

It did my heart good to hear the children laughing and playing today.  And it did my body good to be out in the sunshine today.  And The Secret Garden did my soul good. 
And I bet if I actually planted a garden that would really do me good.
I'm seriously considering it--as I do each Spring.  But I haven't committed to anything yet.
