So this year it has been a mission of mine to ensure that we are living out=r lives the best way we can!
We are getting out there and enjoying the summer days with our paddle board. We are enjoying picnics with family and friends and we are enjoying the days where we get to lounge about. We are living each day as though it may possibly be our last because you never know what is going to happen tomorrow.
We've been to our favourite little bay a few times now but we have also paddle boarded while on holiday in other towns which has been great too! I cannot believe how well balance and how calm my little girl is when she is on the board. She seriously leaves me amazed and in awe of her. She hops on the board, takes control and has now worked out how to do the paddling all by herself while i sit on the back of the board with my legs dangling over the side. All i can say is, Life is great when your children do a little work.
I have discovered that not only is paddle boarding fun when you have your mini-me with you but it is great when you are needing to clear your mind and just forget about the stresses of everyday life. Grab your swimming stuff, grab the lifejacket and make sure there are snacks for after the paddle and you are good to go! You have your best friend, the ocean and the wind blowing through your hair with the rhythm of the waves under you. What more could a person really need?
I'm not sure how many of you out there have had the joy of being able to grab a board and head down to the ocean, but for me it is the place that returns my balance and restores my soul when i start to feel run down and weary. I get my energy back from the waves under me. the wind around me helps me refocus on where my true North is and the sand under my feet... well that just reminds me I am stronger than I think but it also scrubs the nasties and the dead cells of me away to make way for the restored, renewed and replenishes cells that are there.
I have always loved the ocean for its power, strength and rage but also for its calmness, serenity and abundance. The ocean is the place where I can reset myself so to have the ocean as a place where my baby girl goes to have the greatest times makes it so much more special! She adores the water, the shells and the sands and makes it all her own. Its one of the greatest things to watch! Watching the love that we share develop has been more fun than I could ever have imagined!
