A Climb?

A few weeks ago, I took little L to the local park. The gym equipment there is geared towards old children, but she loves to try to keep up with the big kids anyway. I turn around for a few seconds to grab something out of her stroller and see her attempting to climb up a swiss cheese looking thing. I flip out and run over to her to make sure she doesn't fall and crack her head. I tried to pull her of the equipment but she throws a fit and runs back to re-attempt the climb. I stand back and watch as my 16 month old baby climbs up the swiss cheese thing and make it to the top without any help. I pick her up, hug her, and place her on the ground. As soon as her feet hit the ground she runs right back over and re-climbs the equipment. By the end of our time at the park she had climbed up that piece of equipment ten times. All the way home she babbled in the back seat and wouldn't stop smiling. It made me think of how even the smallest or biggest things can be accomplished if you are given a chance to do so. Watching little L be so proud of herself made me realize that it is okay to take a step back and just see what happens. When you do that you may be shocked at the outcome.

A Rambling Welcome!

I have sat down and wrote this blog intro a million and two times. Sadly i have come up with a blank page. One of my new years  was to keep up with a blog at least twice a week. I stop that blog but still wrote twice week. The overall theme of that blog was me holding on to something that I really should have let go. I now see that life goes fast, unexpected, and at times crazy. I don’t look back ten years from now and realized that time got the best of me. I have now come to a point in my life were I can reinvent myself. A fresh start in many ways. I am now embracing the unknown rather then hold on so tightly to the past. I’m trying the best I can to move forward with my life and do the best that i can with what cards i have been dealt. I would ramble off random facts that make me, me but I will save that for another day. For now always remember to look towards the future and not hold on to the past.
