Noodle for My Noodle

Forget Eat, Pray, Love, you just need a noodle and perfect pool day.

I have spent most of my life researching and learning about world religions. I like to cover all my bases. A christian, I am, a seeker of knowledge also.
My father, a tad agnostic, thinks like a scientist. He says..."Bonnie, the Bible is not even a good fairy tale!" ( I think he just likes to rattle my cage!) Mom, on the other hand, thinks Jesus walked on water!!!! They both hauled us to church, Sunday, Sunday night, Wednesday night, and every time the doors were open. Guess mom won!!! I grew up with a love of the lord, and knowing it was healthy to have questions about my faith.
I want to pray with abandonment, and I work at it.
So you can imagine when, I'm sloshing in the pool, with my noodle, I had a "come to Jesus" moment.
I leaned my head back in the water, and I heard my heart beating . I was floating and so at peace. People spend hundreds of dollars , to find that kind of peace. The pool was empty, except for my daughter Emma, sunning herself and speed dialing the dermatologist!!!
Listening to my heartbeat, was my mantra. I was so overwhelmed with gratitude. Glad to be alive and able to "be still!!!" AND... I was thankful for parents who taught me, to believe and trust my heart.
I also, looked at my noodle, and wished I had invented these simple floats! and once greed had left my body, I looked to the heavens and thanked God for whoever this noodle-floating person is!!!
AMEN!!
