The magical experience of gazing into beach rockpools and discovering new and exciting sea creatures never loses it's charm....Lucky and I had an epic day at Copacabana (which is fast becoming one of our favourite spots on the central coast) doing just that , and this is what we found....
Does anyone know it's name? It was the size of a thumbtack, there were several of them in the same pool, and their iridescent blue edges had us squealing with delight. OK, maybe I was squealing a bit more often and loudly than Lucky but the delight was unanimous! Lucky named it a "Glotta" - because it glowed, but we would love to find out it's 'real' name!
Aside from that, I have been having a few doubtful days recently....wondering if my kids are getting enough exposure to 'discipline' in their lives. I don't mean the wooden spoon kind of discipline, I mean the kind that makes you stick at something even if it's hard work because you understand the outcome may be worth it. It's been making me contemplate what I truly value in life, how we really achieve what we need/want to achieve and how important 'self' discipline really is. And I'm still confused!
But gazing at the 'Glotta' (and Lucky just noticed it's tiny little eyes) makes everything alright somehow....
