This just happened. Scott and I decided to go out in the sea to snorkel. I need the practice for our big adventure.
We waded out and got snorkeling. I mastered my anxiety as I knew there were big waves breaking over my head and my heart rate had to be about 160. But I stayed under and was rewarded by seeing a school of fish, clear ones, about 6 inches long, and blue and black striped ones, and one long up and down one that looked like a ribbon on a needle.
We swam some more and I came up. To my right was a giant rainbow that we had taken photos of before we came down. To my left was the sunset, blue and turquoise above the clouds. We were the only ones in the ocean.
I started crying and pulled him close. What an experience. These are words but the feeling will stay forever.
Now, as I write this, sitting on the lanai sipping a mai tai, the Eagles are playing in the condo. The guys are grilling steaks and burgers and taters on the lawn.
Not sure i want to go home.
