Why Sharks Ruined My Vacation Plans

Nothing is impossible…..to a willing heart…
If you read any of my blogs or profile or know me at all I am an expert "Renee Runner". As I explain to anyone who asks me why….. its not so much a run away, but a run to. A run to where my heart can run free and be alive. A place where I can see new things and the exhilaration that comes with it. A place where I can once again find my spirit and my passion and my zest for life. Even if it is only an hour drive late at night with the moon roof open and the stars shining onto my face..music up loud , hair flying, smile at full tilt.
Well, its been almost a year since Hunter and I have done a full blown, leave the state, do something we hadn't thought we would ever do ..flying by the seat of our pants kind of run.
I had my ideas of where I wanted to go…Hawaii…a cruise….Florida….Niagra falls?
Hawaii was shot down with a "Mommy, that's an island isn't it?" "Yes, My Hunter." "Next".
Florida..we actually went there last year..
A cruise…."Mommy you mean out on the Ocean?" "Yes my Darling boy" "Well aren't there sharks in the Ocean?" Yes sweetheart there are but you will be on a big boat". "Mommy!!! Sharks can bite through metal you know!!!!" Ok…so no cruise….how can you argue with that logic. I can only use my "Do not live in a spirit of fear" speech so many times.
Niagra Falls….now there is a plan! Something we can both agree on and would be so cool to do! Something we have talked on for about a year!! And then we are heading to the East coast to find some adventure….see some things we have never seen. And make some memories …see what beauty we can find. See where our peace might lie. Put our souls back in order before we come back home.
I wonder what kind of adventure we will find this summer so my baby and I will have memories to last a lifetime!!??
As nothing is impossible.....to a willing heart.
