this was my first motherless mothers day....being at salt springs state park (a little bit of florida paradise), enjoying the sounds of nature and hearing the childrens excitement made for a happy day. we swam and saw huge catfish as large as my leg (now thats large!)...someone caught a turtle swimming by and the little ones swam with it. a father introduced his daughter to snorkeling. several airboats pulled in and the boys yelled "cooool". unfortunately there was more excitement. some poor guy got bit by a rattlesnake going to the restroom...and on the far end of lake george a women snorkeling was attacked and killed by a gator. this put me in remembrance of a mothers day boating trip where i had a close encounter with a gator. life is more dangerous when you actively participate in it, but the alternative is missing it! there are so many amazing things to explore and experience in life....even with a bit of blue, the gifts of the day were many!
