The 365 Commitment

Skipping Rocks

After several phone calls today, I went on a small walk with my daughter. We hung out by a small stream and it was there I taught her how to skip a rock. Now, I had forgotten that I was pretty good at rock skipping, just sayin. Loner kids like me had to good at something growing up!

So I taught her how to throw the rock, with just the right flip of the wrist. We took a moment and enjoyed what nature had to offer, no cell service required.

This blog is simple. In all the pursuit of self improvement and chasing your goals and objectives, sometimes it is even more important to skip a few rocks with someone you love.
