Fishhawk Lake Real Estate--Showing Your Kids the Simple Life
With social media being such an expedient factor to all things technical, and children as young as 1-2 years old being handed cell phones and iPod's to play with by their busy parents, I portend to be a troubadour for all things SIMPLE in life. Long ago, I learned from some psychology aficionado that a human's basic personality is SET by the age of five. In order to round out a child's life experience by that time, it is imperative, in my opinion to open them to things that are physically in their world. And I don't mean teaching them how to text. 
Show them a natural environment that is healthy and thriving, such as birds flying, diving and basking in the beauty of one of their favorite water havens. Nature's families.
Let them see night skies unencumbered by streetlights, absolutely FILLED with stars galore, including shooting ones!
How about crisp clean air?
Forests filled with mosses of all kinds, tiny local flora, scat left by some of nature's wild creatures. Take them through the changes of each season, from the delicate birth of critters and blooming plants in spring to the annual spawning of salmon trudging their way back to their birthplace yearly to procreate and eventually end their lives along lake shorelines in winter. The glory of Mother Nature is all here to explore!
These are the symbols of a simple life that can put a lifetime stamp on someone's soul. Many crave getting back to this simple life as adults. That often is how and why they find me. There is a yearning to be filled from decades before of the mysteries of childhood from building forts in forests to counting salamanders in shallow waters. This untouched hidden pocket where I live, work and play here at Fishhawk Lake remains placed in a time in history when we weren't so loud and so busy all of the time.
Come join me in resurrecting your childhood, and pass onto your children the gift of what you so appreciated about the simple tenets that Mother Nature gave to you freely as you grew up.
If this speaks to your senses, please allow me the opportunity to share my slice of paradise with you and your family.
