A verse in a song I love says this:
"Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?..."
I can only count a handful of moments where I have done so....
Yesterday I was transported back in time....it started with me waiting for Brenda to be done in the bank right next to the Skating Rink in the Square...
See when I was a kid my parents did not care if I skated or not, and thought it was wasteful to buy me skates, and well at school when the class would go outside and skate I would have to sit on the side and just watch, they did not let us go on with just our boots on...
So anyway there I was yesterday watching people skate while waiting for Brenda, and I was sent back to that moment...and it all reaffirmed in me that I want to be everything my parents weren't, I mean never hold them back in moments like those, and always encourage my boys to reach for the sky, I was raised pretty much being told to just reach for the ceiling, no higher of course, well not me I am always going to encourage my boys to reach the unreachable!
It is funny you know whenever I am at Mark and Brenda's or out with them and I literally discover something that basically every other human has normally discovered it makes me laugh and roll my eyes, and Mark usually is like "ok Kelly let me introduce you to some new things today!" He means this all in good fun because he knows my childhood and growing up my parents kept me close to them and away from alot of experiences, and here is a few:
-Basking n' Robbins was not discovered until I was in my 20's
-Wendy's the same thing
-My first Sugar Bush Trip was after I had kids
-First trip to the zoo was 2 years ago
-I only had Rice Roni for the first time a few months ago, and hamburger Helper like 2 weeks ago
-First Ferry Ride was after I moved here for College
-Tried Mexican/Indian etc food only after I met Jayson
Jayson was the Catapult into my experiencing new things especially....Duh...
So this song is for him, because he showed me "A whole new World"...
