You're Never Too Old

This past week, I learned to do something that I never thought I would be able to....SWIM. I know some of you may be cracking up right now because you're thinking omgosh, who doesn't know how to swim. Well, I'm one of many many who as a adult still didn't know how to swim. As a kid I just never learned. My parents don't know how to swim, we never had a pool other than the little wading pools I had as a toddler. I never went to the local pool and when I did I stayed in the 3 ft side and just splashed around and pretended to swim. I eventually stopped going because I hated watching all my friends and there I was sitting on the side lines so to speak. I tried once before to learn when I signed our son up for lessons but I spent more time cheering him on and watching him than trying to learn myself. Week before last I saw a notice for adult swim lessons and the college and I told my mom and husband that I was going to sign up. One of the main things doctors tell me to do for my medical conditions is to swim but it's hard to do it when you don't know how. So on the first day, the other two ladies and myself were scared to death. To my surprise I'm actually good at it and I love it. The worst part of it was having to jump in the 6 ft end (terrified doesn't describe the feeling) and my hair getting wet :) As adults there are so many things we find ourselves wanting to do because for whatever reason we were never able to do them as kids or teenagers. Just because we are all grown up, doesn't mean it's to late to learn new things or to make up for lost time. Learning to swim has showed me that you can do anything you set you mind to. If you are a parent it also shows your kids to never give up on their dreams no matter how big or small. I hope you have a blessed day and stay wrapped in pink and glitter!!!!
