Fearless

Yesterday I got to be fearless. To celebrate the holidays, my family and some of our dear friends packed ourselves up and greeted the sunrise with a smile. Actually, we were a little bleary-eyed, but energy came soon enough and we were off. We piled into several vehicles and went racing through the winding roads and down to the river. It was about two to a canoe and we shoved off from the shore. The whole day was absolutely spectacular. There was much fun to be had, and the weather was perfect. Not a cloud in sight, full sunshine and a slight breeze. The waters were cold and clear. I hadn't been floating in ages, so it was super nice to be back on the river again. We floated the whole day, stopping whenever and wherever. Venturing off the beaten path, skipping rocks, tipping canoes, braving dark spaces and frigid waters. The day was topped off by riding in the back of a pick up truck, then polishing off an entire tub of ice cream with just a few good friends (: It was so perfect of a break, it'll be hard to go back to class! But I wouldn't change a single second. It was so exhilarating, being fearless, I'd like to be like that every day. Very much so.
