A Moment in Time: Getting Your Feet Wet

[additional-authors]
July 20, 2020
Dear all,
We brought the kids to our pool earlier this week on a hot afternoon. As you can see from the photo, Maya was just a little more apprehensive than Eli! But it was important to seize the moment in time to get their feet wet.
Trying something new (getting our feet wet) is easier for some than others. There are those who just jump in the deep end. And there are those who take time to get acclimated.
Both are ok. What’s not ok is not trying at all. Throughout life there will be opportunities to try – and fail. We just need to ensure that we don’t fail to try!
Go out there.
Get your feet wet with something new.
Take a risk.
Be safe in the process.
And harness the future!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
