Last April we took an awesome trip to go scuba diving in Hawaii.  So much has happened in the year since that trip.  The pendulum of life swung me from side to side, stopping only briefly in the middle to let me catch my breath before starting to swing once more.  But if I close my eyes and take slow deep breaths I am sitting warm on the beach with the wind in my hair and crash of waves in my ears, keeping time with my slow steady pulse.

this was our favorite beach on Maui

these were our beach drinks

and this was the turtle who came to say hi
