no sign that says you can't!

I finally figured out what all this rain is good for... WATERFALLS!!

I think my adventurous nature is rubbing off on Jess because when I woke up on Wednesday morning and she was like, "Grab your coat! We're going to Fizroy Falls!" Too right then!

The hike took us around a valley where the falls were cascading into. I think hiking is going to become one of my new hobbies, just loved it. Going at your own pace, being your own guide, no one to tell you, "Hey, don't jump over that fence!" or "No, you can't climb those rocks! It's dangerous!"

This waterfall look out area is the Grotto. There was a fallen tree blocking my path, huge rocks jutting out the sides of the cliffs, and uneven steps to watch out for. Down the way, I was singing to myself that song from Sesame Street, 'Can't go through it, can't go around it, let's go over it!'

It was the shortest waterfall of but the most fun! I jumped the railing because there was no sign that said you can't, and went all the way around the fall and climbed all over the rocks in front of it, so awesome!!

Think about water here for a minute. Something we know about it is that is flows down the path of least resistance. Pretty easy concept. It

flows from its source and on down to wherever the rest of the water collecting. It's a simple life for a raindrop.

Some people go through life like a raindrop falls to earth and flows down a waterfall. They do enough to get by, stay under the radar, do what others expect of them... Yeah, this will get you through life, how fulfilling is it? I like having the approval of others, I am definitely one of those people. But sometimes it gets to a point where it just isn't doing it for me and working to please everyone else but myself is exhausting. On top of that, a total waste of spirit worrying about what people think. It's tough to advocate for yourself, but if you don't do it, who will? Stand up, choose your direction, and hold steady. Stay true to your heart. There's never been a time when my gut instinct has let me down.

It's easy to sit in the passenger's seat of life like a rain drop just rides down the river. It takes courage to take control, be the driver of your life, and sometimes choosing a way of more resistance because it's true to who you are and what you stand for.

Get out there, make your own path, live your own life! There's no sign that says you can't!
