Energetic people give me energy. I like to feed off it. Don’t get me wrong, I have to supply that energy too with the help of the Holy Spirit. But it becomes amplified when I am with someone who knows how to have fun and/or has a passion about something that they are doing. It is as if they are fully engaged with their body and their soul in order to get the task done.

Usually my family and I will go out and have dinner at a local restaurant. I treasure those times because they are the most memorable.

I wish that I was able to enjoy these moments with my mom. Unfortunately that won’t happen on this side of heaven. But I do look forward to when my entire family can get together and celebrate.

There was that one time I was 10 and cooking Hamburger Helper for my mom and sister. I was boiling noodles in water. In the midst of transferring the pot of water from the stove to the sink to drain the noodles, the pot slipped out of my hands and I spilled boiling hot water onto my chest.

The pain was so bad. My skin peeled off my chest. Fortunately my mom was there with some antibiotics and bandages to treat my skin. This happened in the summer while I was taking swimming lessons at day camp. The bandages would fall off in the chlorinated pool and burn me. That was such a traumatic feeling.

Thankfully I got over it.

Start earlier and don’t worry about failure. Always go for the best and think it!
