Fresh Air




Do you know those little Carnivals that setup in random areas of town,usually Catholic churches? My kids always ask me "Papi can we go?" and usually my answer is No, because of being tired or lack of time etc... Well i was all of the above but I decided to be spontaneous and we went. I must tell you that the moment i walked unto the fair grounds there was a sense of freshness that permeated through me. The cool air of the night. The smell of the hay that covered the floor. The sweet aroma of all the various types of your delicious Carnival food. A sense of gratitude overcame me and i was going to soak up every second of it with my beautiful children to my side. It looked like it was going to rain all night, but the rain held and we had a wonderful night.

I encourage you to look for those moments, the ones that seem like time stops. You just never know where you will find some FRESH AIR.
