This past week my kids turned 27 and 25. Yep, their birthdays are just a few days apart.
Daniel lives 2000 miles away so I didn’t get to celebrate with him in person, but we had fun online and on the phone. He’s such a wonderful man and a great friend. I adore him.
Jessica is here in end. Not only did I get to dive with Jessica, but I got to meet two of my high school friends, Debbie and Linda, for dinner, and then I got to celebrate Jessica’s birthday with about 20 other divers. It was so much fun! Truly!
The thing I wanted to write about, though, was the visibility on our 2nd dive on Saturday. We had very low visibility on that dive.. . . maybe 3 feet, but we were together. It started out that it was just my dive buddies with me, but, before I knew it, there were other divers around us. It was a navigation dive and we were diving along compass headings and we were all in the same place. We couldn’t see where we were going, but we were together and following our designated paths. It was really cool.
It just reminded me of how our days go. There are so many times we can’t see the path, but we know where we are supposed to be going, what we are supposed to find. We trust those around us and our “gear” to get us there. It isn’t scary when you know that you are following the path that you are destined to be on even though you can’t see. Just breathe in and breathe out, trust your instincts, the people around you and know that you will end up where you are supposed to. Just so you know, Jessica and I and the other divers never found the thing we were supposed to on that dive, but we ended up where we were supposed to. . . and that was good enough.
Believe everyday, whether you can see your path or you can’t, that you are where you are supposed to be. Keep on swimming, follow your buddies, trust yourself. . . . and Happy Bubbles to all of you on your journey. I’ll meet you there, friend.
