I hope you all are getting back into your normal routine after the holidays.  How are you doing on your New Year’s resolutions?  I take a different approach than most people.  I like to first look at what I have accomplished in the past year before I move on to this year. This reflection is really powerful for me.

I live in an area were summers are hot and children are in the pools, lakes and streams. Each year we suffer the lose of life but this year with it’s crazy weather has produced a serous hazard for drowning. I was sent a link to this article and felt a great need to pass it on to all of you moms. We have already had 6 deaths this season. Please be safe and enjoy the summer.

A former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the couple swimming between their anchored sportfisher and the beach. “I think he thinks you’re drowning,” the husband said to his wife. They had been splashing each other and she had screamed but now they were just standing, neck-deep on the sand bar. “We’re fine, what is he doing?” she asked, a little annoyed. “We’re fine!” the husband yelled, waving him off, but his captain kept swimming hard. ”Move!” he barked as he sprinted between the stunned owners. Directly behind them, not ten feet away, their nine-year-old daughter was drowning. Safely above the surface in the arms of the captain, she burst into tears, “Daddy!” (more…)
