My main goal in life is to be ultimately happy and to share this with all those I come in contact with. I have many theories about living life to the fullest... but none proven, to say the least. Although, I don't know if that's even something that you can prove...
My appreciation for my natural surroundings come from experience in "living it up". I just got back from snowboarding on Friday. I'm still sore today, but it was all well worth it. Working as a positive stress reliever, I was able to take it out on the slopes. Now, I'm not that great, just so you all know, still learning actually, but to be able to focus on just the present, becuase it may mean life or death, and to know that I'm giving 110% and utilizing all my regressed stress energy in a positive fashion, and exercising my body as well, makes me feel good about myself; it revitalizes and rejuvinates me, and I can come home a more loving mom and wife. Surfing does just the same but with even more gratification for the world God created for us. There's nothing like feeling the wind blow through your hair and face and physically feeling the higher force of nature carry you across an ocean of magnificance, even if just for only a few moments... it'll literally, take your breath away.
You don't have to be good at doing these things, you just have to know that you gave it your all without worrying about what other people are thinking about you and it's the experience that gives the story to your life. My girls have a saying, "Try it, try it, you might like it..." so if the opprotunity knocks on your door, don't hesitate to say "yes". Now, just so you all know, I may be an adrenaline junky, so know your limits as well. All I know is that it has worked for me so far and my faith and spirituality with God has everything to do with it.
I'll post blogs here and there when I get inspired and have the time, or I guess if I just want to vent - hey, it can't be good all the time, then it wouldn't be called "life". All I can recommend is try it out for yourself and see what happens; you really have nothing to lose, but if there's something to gain it'll transform your entire life forever in the best of forms.
I love this main picture of your family. It's beautiful!
