August Endings

August Endings

August 31, 2020

This was the last weekend of August, about a week left and the kids start (home)school. The air was cool, the water was warm, the wind and waves were wild, as were the children.

We got to take our boat out finally for the first entire boat day and spent time with family! I'm looking forward to many more of these days in the future. Just floating out there in the ocean relaxing, with all your cares left back on shore. Children jumping into the sparkling, salty water, their laughter being carried on a breeze.

I once heard someone say,

If you don't change you do not grow,

But I waved the thought away,

For who were you to think they know,

I'd always stayed the same,

A heart that thrived within the cold,

And I had no desire to change,

At least that's what I had been told,

But deep within my mind,

A thought grew slowly, bit by bit,

Until I felt trapped in my skin,

For it no longer seemed to fit,

There's a whole world sitting out there,

Changing every single day,

That proves it's nothing to be scared of,

If you do it the right way,

For a day afraid to turn to night,

Will miss the silver moon,

And a flower that refuses to change,

Will never get to bloom,

I had thought I was a thorn bush,

Only good for snagging clothes,

But if you do not dare to change,

You'll never find out you're a rose.
