When I first thought of parasailing, I wasn’t sure if it was an idea or dream, either way I didn’t know if I wanted to or not. I was probably in my Junior year of high school. It was at least a thought. Still to this day I don’t know where the idea or thought came from, but it piqued my interest.
As the days, years kept going by, I was still unsure either way. Then one day I said to myself I’m going! The first chance I get!
The Day–
I was having a great day with my daughter and grandchildren when someone mentioned Lake George. All of us ended up walking in Lake George looking at different stuff, enjoying the weather. We had lunch at a restaurant on the beach. We finished our meal, walking, sight seeing, we were walking down a little hill towards the beach, and I seen a sign with the word “parasailing” on it, if it said more I don’t know. I seen the magic word Parasailing! Immediately, arrangements were made for my boyfriend to watch the grandchildren while my daughter and I went parasailing! AWE!
So, finally my daughter and I got to go. And the boyfriend watched the grandchildren. What made it bitter sweet was I never knew she has always wanted to do it also. We went up together. It was such an amazing experience all the way around, we were together doing what we both have been wanting to do! Also, it was so peaceful, with a great view above the lake and its surroundings. To me it was serene! I really didn’t want to come down, my daughter and I wish we could’ve stayed up there forever!
I will never forget that moment we had together as mother and daughter, since its been years we could do something just the two of us! My boyfriend and the grandchildren were watching from below in awe. They were having a blast with arcade games and ice cream while we were enjoying ourselves in peace…
Although it took many years to come to the decision that it was more than a thought, it ended up being a dream that became a reality! I would do it again in a heartbeat if I could, no guessing to that! Anyone not afraid to have peace, and it be serene, this you must try! It’s UNBELIEVABLE!
So, if you ever have the chance to do something you only dreamed about, JUST DO IT! Never miss an opportunity to make a dream a reality. You just may have a marvelous time with whatever your dream may be. Have a child like mind as you grow older because as we age we might find it harder to do or achieve. Be open to every dream.
