This little girl was at a pool party in her very best party dress. She was eyeing her surroundings with skepticism...not sure of which way to go next. In her arms was a mama smurf stuffed doll. She lifted her beautiful dress to dip her feet in the water but wasn't sure whether or not to proceed. I just loved the look on her face and her little turned in feet.
I don't remember whether or not she decided to plunge her tootsies into the pool, but I do know that if she did she would be happy with herself for facing her fears. Life is all about challenging yourself. I am constantly pushing myself to do things that I think I cannot do.
