A day of water, waves, and a good friend

Today, I ventured out to the nearby Wave Pool. It's taken me over 9 years to get there, and my friend who's been here for over 20, to get there. And I was so pleased that we went. There were many moments throughout the day where I found myself smiling from the depths of my soul.

I am grateful for my friend who drove over 45 minutes to spend a few hours with us at the pool.

I am grateful for being able to watch her and my eldest playing in the waves together. Smiling and laughing.

I am grateful that my youngest went to her, and let her hold her while I spent time in the water with my eldest.

I am grateful for the feel of the motion in the water, for the way I was able to roll with the motion, and still keep my ground.

I am grateful for a day filled with joy, for the adventure, for being with people I adore, and that fill my heart with song.

I am grateful that I finally took that step.
