On wonder

wonder_dolphinWe’re just back from a lovely Spring Break trip to the west coast of Florida.  I took this photo on a sunset dolphin cruise.  Such playful creatures these dolphins were! It was amazing, of course, and I loved it.

I was actually thinking this very thought when this came about: “It’s amazing to see all these dolphins swimming nearby but wouldn’t it be cool if one would jump out of the water? And even cooler if it would be over here, with the sun setting in the background?” And I swear to you, I am the only person who was standing right there at the back of the boat to marvel at and to capture that very thing.  I sort of thought of it as a reward for the way I’ve been thinking lately… listening to my intuition, tuning in to my soul, living and loving from my heart instead of my ego or any form of selfishness.  Perhaps I’m finally on the right path to be surrounded and filled with joy and happiness.  I promise I’ll share more about this soon, but I tell you, it’s made such a difference.

Most of our time away was spent near or in water.  My daughter took to the beach and the pool like she’d never left.  It was wonderful to hear her joyful laughter as she swam, collected shells, built sandcastles, and spent quality time with family.

How have you spent the past week? I’d love to hear about it.

    I think that dolphins have a different way of communicating. They are pretty smart animals. Glad you were able to talk to them! I will have to try that next time!

      I got to “kiss” a dolphin years ago on our honeymoon and that was the coolest thing. I know they are so smart!

  2. How fun! We took the kids to Pt. Reyes on the California coast for our spring break trip! How funny we each headed for the ocean…
