We went to the beach and Tilly (Miss 8.5) and I were diving into the waves, laughing, being silly, she was calling out “over, under or starfish” and I had to follow. Screams, laughs, water up the nose, choking on the sea, messy beach hair, more screams if seaweed touched us!! 😂
She looked at me and said “Mum you’re like a kid again, just playing” I said absolutely I am, that is one of my goals for 2026 more fun, play, laughter and just being in the moment! How good is this.
Later she said “when you’re in the ocean you just forget about everything else and just do one wave at a time!” I thought wow I’m so glad she’s insightful and thinks like this at such a young age! To be fully present.
For me it’s such freedom to be in these moments without judgement, wear the swimmers, run around free, be in the moment, laugh at yourself, laugh with loved ones, no shame, no guilt about what you “should” be doing or how you “should” look. Just beautiful, precious moments we both will remember.
So if you need a gentle reminder here you go. Let yourself be in the moment as often as possible. 💫 And add more fun, joy and laughter to every day. 💫
