Trying something out

So I am trying this whole blog thing out...I am not sure if I will write in it very much but I figured I will still try it out.
Swimming lessons were a blast tonight, I love being able to work with friends. Amelia made my day today by turning in her application to work at the YW. So now Megan and Amelia will work with me, I am excited!
Maddie, one of the little girls I teach was just adorable tonight. The lesson started by her telling me that she was five-years-old and a perfect swimmer. However when it came time to do front floats she screaming,"I CAN'T, I CAN'T!" at the top of her lungs. I told her it was ok and nothing bad was going to happen to her. She looked at me and whimpered, "You are not going to let go of me? " I said, "Of course not." After this she would periodically give her Mom the thumbs up sign and proclaim to her that she was doing good.
I became to think about this later and how this is a lot like my life, I really want people to hold on to me and not let go. I want to be able to have people that I can give the thumbs up sign and tell them that I know I am doing good. I wonder if I can get to that place when life isn't quite so scary, when I don't have an arranged schedule to get up to, when I know what I can offer to others.
