We have been having a wonderful trip so far. Have very much enjoyed the getting warm. Especially when I learned this morning that it snowed 3 inches last night at home. . . . As we are in the Caribbean I appropriately got a little sunshine . . . it is already brown. . . . It did look VERY red for about a day though. Our room steward was teasing me though when he saw my tan line that I looked like his country flag with my white feet and red shoulders.
When I had very long hair, I always thought it would be fun
to get my hair put in cornrows or braids with beads. I never did.
Too much hair. Would have taken
more patience and time than I was willing to give. But Mom and I went and got the top parts of
our hair braided. I guess when in the
Caribbean…. We have gotten SO many
comments on it. From all colors of
people. On and off the boat. Has been pretty funny. Not sure what my beautician will say when we
have to take them out, but it was certainly fun.
While we are very much enjoying a vacation, life back to
“normal” is sounding appealing. While
having no schedule is nice and enjoyable, I am missing having a check off
list. Talked to friends today who life
is hitting their fan and it is hard.
Sometimes life throws those curve balls.
I have gotten hit with a lot of them in the last few years and I know
they hurt. I have been very grateful
that my soul is anchored deep. I have
thought that I was drifting loose a few times and that my ropes had been cut,
but always even in some big storms there was an anchor holding me. People are going to fail me. Friends will too. But I know my soul is anchored firmly and
there is always that hope. It can always
be well with my soul even when life is hitting my fan.
