Yesterday we came out of the movie theatre and it was raining but there must have been a downpour because there was water everywhere
I had a new pair of Toms on and if they got wet they would have gotten stretched out. So i decided I’d take off my shoes and just walk to the car.
But.
There was a puddle. Like Lake Michigan sized puddle.
And i dont know where it came from because as a kid i didn’t jump in big puddles for fear of getting yelled at. But this feeling came over me and i splashed in that puddle as BIG AS I COULD! My pants were soaking wet. Some man just looked at me like i was looney toons.
But for 15-20 seconds i didn’t think about anything all i was doing was laughing. Pure joy people. Pure joy.
Normally I’m pretty reserved, i have lived a life of taking care of others, there is always a job to do, something needs to be accomplished. Many people see that side of me, but sometimes, when i feel safe because of love, i do crazy things like catch fish at a fish market, splash in puddles, laugh really loud, be funny.
The older i get the more I’m learning to live life and enjoy moments in hard days.
Life is meant to be lived, in purpose, with joy.
