Once in a while, you need to do something totally not you. Just for the hang of it!

The other day, on a beautiful Mission Bay Day, after a great little family lunch  followed by ice creams, we bought a couple of those $6 kites that they sell at the beach. (ok I was co-erced by my partner!)

It turned out to be a great move.

I was truly stunned by how much fun it was and how our two children of different ages got fully "into it."

Flying a kite is a lot like life. Sometimes there is great wind behind your efforts and your goals are achieved effortlessly. Other times, you have to really use every skill to get into the right wind channel and outsmart the general wind currents. Other times - you have to just run hard and make your own wind speed to get your "kite" to the right hight.

Our kites flew HIGH.

But there were times when we really had to work at it. Nevertheless, during those times, we were still feeling the benefits of the sun on our face and the exercise it produced by trying to get LIFT.

We enjoyed flying our $6 kites.

Think about what flies your kite? and do it , the next time you are able.

Do it often.

and feel the benefits.
