We were so aware that many of us just slept in our basements that night. <!--more-->That night finally upon us and only a storm blew through our neck of the woods. Very appreciative that we suffered no devastation my children and I found a tree on our path that the wind splintered. The down limb lay across our path home from school. It was not a problem; actually it made for such excitement on the walk home. \u201cWe get to cross the tree mom!\u201d Jake said as I picked him up from school that day.<\/p>\n<p>Some people may look at the down branch as an obstacle but my children and the ones I babysit looked at it as an adventure. They had to figure out a way to cross it without falling down. They had to explore it and learn more about what had happened.<\/p>\n<p>The following afternoon someone had already chopped it up and took the wood away. My children were so disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Life is all how you look at it. A down tree to one person is work, to another appreciation that the damage was not more and to the open innocent mind of a child an adventure.<\/p>\n<p>How would you look at that same tree?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do you see?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[623],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5512"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
