I enjoyed the motto this blog hop chose "Confession is good for the soul...it may not
be your soul, but trust me - it's good for someone's soul."
There is a lot of truth in that motto. Making bonehead decisions is something I do all the time. So the hardest part will be narrowing it down to one I am willing to confess to and share in the blog world.
Last June I wrote a blog post about A Perfect Day which you can read here. Anyone familiar with PAul Harvey would know that their is always the rest of the story.
Sure the beach was beautiful. Nothing better than spending quality time with my daughter. Swimming in the oceans with dolphins swimming near us was a thrill I was able to share with her.
I was visiting my parents and they always stress how you should wear sun screen and always mention the burn time. They always say it is a short time like "the burn time is 15 minutes."
Bonehead decision one was I decided to take off my shirt. I don't usually do that. However, I was five hours away from where I lived. I wasn't trying to impress anyone so I said what the heck.
Bonehead decision two in the moment of swimming and sharing the experience with my daughter I did not put on the harped about sunscreen.
We were in the water and the beach for far more than 15 minutes. I can testify my skin was exposed to the sun for the well done duration. So my parents, wife and anyone else with common sense when I came back with my sun burn yes they told me so.
I ended up with the worse sunburn of my life. The type that would welt up and puss. It was not a lot of fun. Like Paul Harvey would say "and now you know the rest of the story." Yes, I made a couple of bonehead decisions even on a perfect day.
