A few wishes for my friends!

I just wanted to say a few words to you, my blog friends:

My hubby and I are going to our favourite place, the Mayan Riviera, for two weeks, so I won't be bloggin' for a while....the Caribbean ocean inspires me so much...

I wrote this on our first trip back to Mexico in 2009. It's called "She beckons me home"

As I woke up this morning

In this beautiful place

I looked to my husband

And saw a smile on his face

A smile in his sleep

Means joy in his heart

I can't help but smile too

Feeling such love in my heart.

I quietly dressed

And grabbed the camera, eager to see

What beautiful things

She has to show me.

As I quietly leave our room by the sea

I can hear her soft voice

She is whispering to me

My feet hit warm sand

As I walk on Her shore

Everywhere I look

I see Her beauty and more

I watch the sun struggle

To peek through the clouds

The colors so rich & amazingly loud.

Never have I seen a more beautiful sight,

all painted for me, in colors so bright.

I sit here alone, in this moment in time

Knowing that all this is for me,

This moment is mine.

No one around to share this glorious sight

My soul feels so full

I know it is right.

As a sense of calm comes over me

I feel so content,

So whole and complete.

She gave me a gift,

She means it for me

She gave me a gift,

No one else will ever, ever see.

"She" is the Ocean, so humble, so strong

She beckons me closer:

"Why don't you come in?"

I suddenly realize this isn't a dream.

The beauty around me is so surreal;

that I cannot believe all that I feel

I slowly walk closer, my feet in the sand

Holding some of her amazing treasures tightly in my hand

As I get wet, I feel so alive

She surrounds me with love,

And I know, I've arrived.

If home is where the heart is,

Then this is my home

For nowhere else have I ever felt

So fulfilled & happy,

While completely alone. 

I look forward to next time

We meet at Her shore,

When She'll fill me with calm

And replenish my soul.

Until next time...

We leave Easter Sunday, so I'd like to wish everyone a

May you have a wonderful Easter with Family and Friends!

and since we don't return until May 9th.....to all you Mother's OUT THERE....

 Remember to take some time for yourself!
