    <content type="html">&lt;font color="#ff00ff" size="3"&gt;Hello all!&amp;nbsp; This is my first journal entry.&amp;nbsp; I spent the day with my 2 kids at Sandcastle water park.&amp;nbsp; We had a ball!&amp;nbsp; Got home and little girl passed out on couch, snoring.&amp;nbsp; It's amazing how kids love water.&amp;nbsp; I wonder if it's a natural throwback to being in utero or something else.&amp;nbsp; A friend commented today that my kids are part fish.&amp;nbsp; Yes, we are aquatic beings in many ways.&amp;nbsp; I love floating on my back and letting the water absorb most of the sounds.&amp;nbsp; It's like a sensory deprivation experience.&amp;nbsp; I really relax during those times.&amp;nbsp; My kids both seem happiest when they are swimming.&amp;nbsp; They play with each other, me, other kids, it's wonderful.&amp;nbsp; They are totally relaxed and just being.&lt;br /&gt;I'm working on enjoying the "just being" part of life.&amp;nbsp; Kids are so natural at it.&amp;nbsp; They don't worry how they look or who's watching them or what the crowd is doing.&amp;nbsp; They do what they want and enjoy it in the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/aprilaviva/pic/00001a34/"&gt;&lt;img height="228" width="320" border="0" alt="" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/aprilaviva/pic/00001a34/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>
