today was a day of highs & lows ending with highs. l and i went for an early morning walk on the beach with our iced coffees in hand. then i hustled back to the house in order to grab my bag and head back over to the mainland to pick up m, b & d! it was a full house of 4 women, 2 dogs and 1 beautiful baby.
the surf was rough so we stuck bay side today. it was really lovely to wade in the water and just chat. dd and i had another long walk on the beach and then we made a feast of shrimp, scallops and salad. the best part of dinner was the talking and also seeing l freak out about the giant praying mantis fly across the table and smack m clear in the middle of her chest! for a minute i was the strong one.
three amazing women who all have different strengths and have passed their wisdom and kindness along to me. i feel truly blessed. it's rare to be enveloped with such compassion and love.
right now i am feeling very positive and i hope it lasts. i have a feeling that it will. good friends to make you laugh is always the best medicine. there is a feeling of comfort and peace. it's nice to know that i can rely on someone other than myself and a huge lesson learned.
tomorrow is a new day with an impending hurricane. hunkering down for the storm...such is life.
