Enjoying the Beauty of the Caribbean

I cannot say it enough... to make you understand or believe... I still have a hard time believing that this is reality. I told Lisa today when we were at the beach that I felt like I was sitting, looking at a magazine. It's so beautiful at our Taino beach. How could I really be here? Enjoying the beauty here... living this adventurous wonderful, challenging and amazing life?I went for a swim with the group... laughing and enjoying the water... and after about half an hour or so I decided I would like some quiet time with God and myself... so we went for a walk He and I. Down the beach to where there was no other sounds but the waves gently rolling on the shore. It's not like home where there is always a cold breeze or wind blowing... Here there is a warm breeze that surrounds me like an embrace. I sat near the edge of the water in the warm sand and just reflected on what has happened so far, grateful for the opportunity to be doing what I am doing and grateful for the friends and love he has showered on me, both here and at home. I am so grateful today...

Jess and I got to be a little goofy today too which was nice. I do love her so much! I know that she is going to continue to be a great friend!

It was a wonderful experience and I am so glad that it is a weekly treat. Every Monday they say. Oh joy!
