Ryan and I recently celebrated my 49th birthday while on holidays at a popular lakeside resort. Our kids are all grown now and doing their own things so we are enjoying reconnecting and getting away as often as possible. Empty nesting is starting to look good!
We spent my birthday hiking along a river trail and up to a powerful waterfall that had been beautifully carved and sculpted into the earth over thousands of years. It took almost 3 hours to get to the falls, but it was so worth the trek. I am always in awe of how powerful Mother Nature is and am naturally drawn to beaches, lakes, rivers, oceans… anything waterside.
As we stood alongside the falls, with the cold mist dampening our faces, I quipped, “I want you to make me gush like that!”
Ryan replied, “Yeah?”
“Yeah! I’d like to try. I saw a video tutorial that someone sent me on reddit and he even gave me step by step instructions. I’ll show you back at the hotel.”
