Through My Daughter's Eyes II

Happy Mother's Day!

         Today I will once again write about how my mother has continued to grow and succeed in her new hobby, passion, OBSESSION, or whatever you want to call it... In the estimated ten months my mom has been doing the sport, she has achieved so much. Although she is always complaining how she didn't do "good" in a race, she knows she is getting one step closer to her goals.
         As you may have noticed, I underlined, bolded, and capitalized the word, "OBSESSION". The reason is 95% of the things we talk about are about or have to do with STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING! She has accepted this growing sport into her everyday life. She constantly talks about her new Boga board, how she's been improving her time, her races, her training, her new SUP friends, and all the things she wants to accomplish in this sport. And, let me tell you, it's so AWESOME! I've never seen her so pumped and ready to do anything in her life. Her hobby was traveling and, now, it's traveling to go paddle boarding! She's talking about going back to Hawaii (where she first found out about SUP and haven't been there since), SUPing on the Danube River in Austria, and challenging the surf at Jeffrey's bay in South Africa (not really; too scary, for now!). Well, it doesn't matter where we go, ma's going to try her hardest to find a place to board. Love your enthusiasm, mama!
