Today was a wonderful, fun day at the fair with my sister, a friend and my kids! I watched and cheered as my kids and their "aunties" went on ride after ride, amazed and surprised at how well my kids did on such big rides! And, of course, I was queen of the camera, enjoying catching every moment I could......but not experiencing it.
So why, as a bystander, does this day go down as a good day? Because even though it was one simple ride, the big and beautiful Ferris Wheel, I got to climb inside and ride it. True, I was terrified all the way through the line I would be turned away too big to ride, or I wouldn't be able to squeeze my body onto the ride or worst of all I would break the whole frickin' thing! However, I made it on and LOVED the whole ride.
I enjoyed the view and the fun, but most of all I enjoyed how happy my kids were to have me on a ride with them! That felt AMAZING! Now that is a feeling of SUCCESS. Yes on a diet numbers go down, clothes get sassier, but my kids joy so far has been the greatest accomplishment and was a strong reminder that I have a big goal to reach....DISNEYLAND rides and all! Yes my little ones mama can do it!
