Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Today we had our daughter and her two sons over all day, so she gets some help with them.  The 3 year old was major busy:  he baked chocolate chip cookies, he picked flowers, he painted with glitter paints, he drove his trucks outside, we went for a walk, he found rollypolly bugs and centipedes and spiders and inch worms, he had lunch which he ate because he wanted a cookie, and throughout it all he talked non stop.  His energy is amazing, and he is a winning character for sure.  His baby brother is quite the talker as well.  So when they leave the noise level pulmets, and we are stunned for a while.  I'm amazed I have the energy, but somehow I do, and I'm present and in the moment the entire time.  No worries about the virus or the state of the world, just keeping the boys safe and paying attention every minute.  I feel useful today and it's a great feeling.
