Here we go.
Hello, humans!
Today I'm on a quiet walk because I really, really want to see an animal.
Maybe a deer or a fox or.
Wait, wait a minute.
Look.
Look.
It's a deer.
A deer!
Oh, no.
I scared it away.
I was just so excited.
Have you ever felt that way?
So excited.
It just bursts out of you.
Sometimes it's great to be loud.
Like when you shout for your favorite team or sing along to your favorite song.
But sometimes we need to turn down our excitement.
I made something the other day, and I think this is the perfect time to try it out.
This is my excitement dial.
It has quiet on the left and loud on the right.
And right now I'm feeling like I'm on full blast, wow, oh!
That's probably better.
That was a little too loud for the forest.
Let's set it right about there.
Wow.
My excitements still here.
I'm just feeling it more quietly.
Okay, I think I'm ready.
Let's go find some animals.
Sometimes it's easy, when it's quiet time.
Sometimes it's simple, there's not much on my mind.
Sometimes it's hard though, I struggle to be still.
Sometimes I wonder if I always will.
But I'm still growing.
I'm on my way learning more and more each day.
Theres a time to run and laugh out loud.
Theres a time to shout and play.
Theres a time to rest and settle down.
And Im learning everyday.
Sometimes it's hard though.
Theres so much on my mind.
This life's a journey.
It just takes time.
