Today was my day. I was not disappointed.
For "church" in the month of January our church is closed but they have planned activities each Sunday to encourage a different kind of fellowship. Last year they were really blessed by it which was good.
Today was breaky at the park then beach activities. Bring your beach toys.
I got the pleasure of watching a man drive his boat off the ramp and his trailer off the side. Haha!! Yes I am laughing at their misfortune. I got to watch them try get it out too. They did eventually. Just to amuse me really though hey.
I didn't pack swimmers for myself. I don't usually swim. So I ended up going in my clothes cos mik wouldn't go get me some. He sat in the car the ENTIRE time! :( totally uncool
Later I got to watch and have a go at riding a kayak with the kids and without.
Isaiah had a go of rowing and did a pretty good job for a 6yr olds first time. (maybe we can get one eh?!) tipping a 6yr old & 4yr old off it isn't very comforting to this mummy but I managed to grab the 4yr olds arm and hold her above water.
But then, I had a ride of a jet ski!!!! Woo hoo!!! That was SO COOL!! so so so cool!!
I also got to drive. Was so impressed. It felt so free & alive & living life to the full. Around the bay where you can't usually go. Wind in your face breeze through your hair. It was great. I could have ridden for hours. Have I said it was great? It was freedom at its high point.
I felt so blessed, like I was given a gift. I loved it...
I love the water. I love being on top of the water. I'd still buy a boat.
It reminds me of a long time ago pre-marriage when I did these fun & crazy things. When I lived life to a fullness of a different degree to now. I skurfed, I skied, I jumped off the end of a very long jetty, I rollerbladed (haha), I rode a push bike as my 'car', I was happy behind the throttle of a 4 wheeler motorbike, or on the back of a 2 wheeler motor bike, fishing from a dinghy or hooning in a speedboat. I had fun. I was even referred to as wylde to do it. Hubby agrees I was wild. I tend to disagree. though I am now tame and I view it as an insult :( *sigh*
It was all alcohol & drug free unadultered fun.. What a life I lived!!
I'd still get a boat. I plan to one day. I'd buy a jet ski and use that. Maybe I will one day.
Anyway, just documenting a day that was thoroughly enjoyed by me.. Well most of it.. I was disappointed by other stuff that happened that day. Don't want to lie and make you think my life is an adrenalin pumping high all the time ;)
5 things I am thankful for:
1. The gift of a ride
2. The freedom I felt
3. The love that I have
4. The coolness of the water
5. A blog to remember it all :)
