Indigo Boyz

I wake up with the sense of appreciation of my life and my family this morning, I think it was the photo's at the Ohio Historical Centre that sparked it all, some disturbing photo's of reality were on display and the boyz (Sydney, Matt & Josh) and I stumbled into the room and couldn't believe what we were looking at, my first reaction was to quickly take these young minds out of the room as I thought it would warp their mind but my intuition told me, they'll be ok, sensitive to it but ok, the photographic display were of pictures of tragedies that have occured in history of time even in modern times that photographers had taken in the spur of the moment, such as the twin towers, hurricane Katrina, famine and starvation in Africa, war, columbine and much much more too graphic to describe, we slowly just gazed on the giant prints with such emotion I had to hold my tears back, I could see the pain and hurt on the boyz faces and amazement that such stuff like this happened in the world, they'd just look at me with that "but how can this be" Matt felt overwhelmed and helpless for humanity but I told him that in order to see change we make the change and that is why we are here to bring the light and balance back to the world (I know that sounds a bit Avatar-ish, but its true). The photo's were reality of war and what hate can do, however we can stand and make a difference and it all starts from us. We stumbled out of the room with our emotions beat up however we took it for what it was the past, a reality check dusted ourselves off and left the pain back in the room and continued to discover what the Historical Centre had to offer us so lucky for us the quilting and cars were our next display and oh how quickly the energy changed for us all. I learn from the boyz on how to let go very quickly. The overall visit at the centre was amazing, we discovered all great things and got to touch giant geodes and flint, be amazed at the gemstones on display and be in awe at the feet of the giant mastadon elephant with its mighty self. To end our journey I asked our guests Matt & Josh if they were up to trying something new, step out of the box a little for lunch and they were up for the challenge. When ever I'm downtown I always want to introduce my friends to bubble tea so I took them to one of my favourite tea salons called "Zen Cha", the boyz seemed to embrace the city lifestyle, their parents are originally from Queens New York and I see the love in Matt's eye for hussel & bussel, tall buildings and eclectic stimulai. We were shown to our table which had a zen garden in the middle, they were totally amazed and thought they were in the most fanciest place ever, I just loved their wondermant and appreciation of something new and exciting, I told them this is flashy I guess however there is no reason why you guy's can't eat at flashy joints like this so please enjoy. After getting recommendations from the server and our order in we just sat there enjoying each other's company, they asked me what a zen garden is and all the great things that young minds could think of, our drinks had arrived and I loved to see the amazement in their faces when they tried the bubble tea, its like a party in your mouth, I explained to them that in Asian countries such as China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea etc that young kids like themselves drink fancy tea like these all the time, they couldn't believe it. As our food arrived Sydney asked the server if they could give them chopsticks, it was their first time trying them and they were all naturals, picking up chicken & vege's and dumplings, yummy the dumplings were good. I was so impressed with them that I had to get myself into gear and tell my fingers don't let me down, luckily I got through it and it came back to me as well. It was a great way to end our afternoon, our tummy's full, we tried something new and it was time to go home and you guessed it relax and be happy.

So this morning as I'm thinking about all the great things we did the day before I finally came up with an awesome idea on what to do with the hand picked shells Sydney bought back from Mrytle beach for me, a "Zen Garden", my son know's me so well, even though I didn't get to go to the beach with him he manages to bring the beach back to me, I just love my Indigo Boy.
