t was a midweek summer’s evening<br />
I and we had just finished dinner at<br />
my family’s favourite restaurant.<br />
Sated and happy, we returned<br />
to the car, walking down a busy<br />
Christchurch road, one child clasping<br />
my left hand and another mini mitt<br />
ensconced in my right.<br />
We didn’t go straight home. We<br />
took a detour, as the summer light<br />
allowed, and discovered a new park.<br />
The children leapt out of the car<br />
and ran across the road, over the<br />
chain fence and into the playground.<br />
They climbed up ladders, slid down<br />
slides, and went around and around<br />
on merry-go-rounds. Their cheerful<br />
cries were no distraction to the two<br />
boys playing soccer on the field.<br />
I dragged the long flying fox to the<br />
wooden platform. I did so again and,<br />
on the third time, had it given back to<br />
me. “But I’m wearing a dress,” I said to<br />
the six-year-old. He didn’t understand<br />
my trepidation.<br />
I threw caution to the wind. I<br />
jumped on. I held tight.<br />
The air rushed by and the moment<br />
was mine.<br />
Make your moments matter. Pause<br />
to take breath and discover the true<br />
meaning of mindfulness as we launch<br />
into the new year with <strong>Style</strong>.<br />
