As I have alluded in many recent posts, I am feeling so much better. Sometimes I am amazed when I've done something I haven't done in a long time without even realizing I am doing it with no pain. It's as if my body as already forgotten. And then there are times, when I am overwhelmed with thanksgiving and am able to reflect and be in awe of God's grace to me. This was one of those times. One morning while we were in the OBX, I spent almost 40 minutes on Joshua's boogie board.
Memories of being in the ocean with my sister and cousins every summer came flooding back.
The waves were gentler than I remember and thankfully I never took a nasty tumble.
I pray my appreciation for what I've got now, doesn't fade. That I will take with me forever, what God has done.
And yes, I am sporting a rash guard shirt. I figured with 3 boys it was worth the investment. Who knows when I'll take up surfing or white water rafting ;)
My arms are just now feeling back to "normal" almost a week later. They were so sore. And my lips felt funny for days with all that spitting salt water. But it was totally worth it.
