No regrets

In the wonder of the day. Lazy and wish vs Active. The girls and I spent another great day together with a chance to be "rained" out. We took our chances and it was one of the best days together!

So many times we take the lazy way and let it determine our outcome. Not for Faithy and Em! "Come on Mommy, we got to go! You promised (if when you say maybe we can go ____{you fill in the blank} you children think it's an automatic 'promise' :-) ) we could go this week!" They called our local temp to hear that we have a chance for showers. We went and became active participants taking our chances. No lines, no crowded areas, and all the clouds you want - watch out burns those sneaky UV rays. They loved it! I froze in the water, yet loved playing tag with them. It was so great that we actively stayed for 6 hours! Yikes did I get a nice first burn (age does that to me now) but for them to smile, giggle and have another memory made together - priceless no matter how hot my skin feels now.

I could have missed out on their joy! We could have stayed home and they wouldn't have made a day of fun and I would have missed out on an opportunity to enjoy them in the water and laughing and saying over and over and over - THANKS for bringing us Mommy! They spurred us to be active and MOVE today to do something fun together. I Loved this day with Faithy and Emily! I will cherish today knowing they were active in our decision - NO REGRETS for our day today - NONE!

Another day to be thankful for being ALIVE and Active with two wonderful little girls who are growing up way too quickly. Won't you make the best of today and be active in your day?
