Ouch

I watch them bounce and it makes my neck hurt. Then I see them jump off the top and hit the bottom mat and my rear axle hurts. I am sitting In Dubai at the airport watching stuff while we wait for a flight. These kids are bouncing,,,what a cool way to get their energy out. I want to. My mind wants to. My body says NO. I don’t bounce like I used to. I flop hard. These kids make it look so easy, simple, fun and I just see ouch, ooh, whoops and oops. The girl running it doesn’t make it any easier. She encourages them by showing them how to fly high and crash hard. Of course they bounce cuz it’s a trampoline..I still would flip hard trampoline or rubber mattress with cushions all over.

It’s not just my body, my mind doesn’t bounce as well either anymore. Someone hurts my feelings and I don’t let it just roll off my shoulders. Words are said that aren’t true..why should I care if it’s not true, but I do. Why should it bother me, when the creator of the universe is the creator of bounce both physically and mentally. Bouncing means relaxing…bouncing means we have to loosen up. To bounce one can’t worry about hitting anything, but rather using it to change directions… in life,,that’s hard but a good lesson to learn…
