Trying New Things

So listen…I am not a animal person! Mainly because I am allergic to them. Like really allergic. When we were house hunting, I could even tell when the homeowners had pets because I would have a severe reaction (including shortness of breath). Good thing I keep Benadryl and an inhaler with me at all times.

A few years ago, we took a vacation to the Cayman Islands. I was excited because I had heard they had some of the most amazing beaches! And, this was totally true. The water clear and so salty that if you stood still just for a moment, you would begin to float.

We did lots of things while we were there. One of them was going to the turtle farm. I will be honest, I was not really looking forward to this. I mean, who wants to look at turtles when you could be relaxing on the beach? But, we were on vacation and I often like to try new things while on vacation. And, when you have kiddos with you, you have to try and keep them entertained. So, to the turtle farm we went!

While there, I had the opportunity to actually hold a turtle. I really didn’t want to do it. But, my husband said I was scared and I ain’t never scared LOL. So, I did it! I was so proud of myself for touching a live animal. I went out of my comfort zone and tried something new and different! And, now I have to pictures to prove it!

But, really y’all…be bold and try something out of your comfort zone next time you are on vacation. Next time, I may go skydiving…hopefully, my hubby doesn’t call me scaredy cat and make me have to do this…
