September 24th , 2011 ! Already ? Dang ! Now it ’ s time to let it go ! it meant that I had a blast ! It ’ s all good . But dang !
The day of departure from Cozumel , Mexico . I woke up at 6:30 am . Still could not hear well on both ears ! water ! logged . Rested , but uneasy ! I know the feeling ! Hi ! It ’ s been awhile ! I just had to get up from bed , and go somewhere outside , somewhere near the ocean . Quietly so not to wake Carl up , a new friend , my dive buddy , who ’ s been so patient and generous , o " ering tips and techniques from his years of diving , the world over . I was lucky to have Carl as my dive buddy ! and roommate , he didn ’ t snore ! It didn ’ t matter , the last 2 days , I could barely hear anything !

I put on my swim shorts , and I went outside , crossed the bridge from Casa Del Mar towards the dive shop . I was the only one there ! too early for the dive shop personnel or anybody else really to be there , except for the security guy , with two ! way radio on hand . Other than that , it was just me and two tiny crabs perched on the retaining wall . Perfect ! A great place of solitude ! a place to just BE , and let it all hang . “ Giving ” thanks doesn ’ t seem to fit what was going on inside ! because , I was being it , the word GRATITUDE ! I was the expression of it ! my whole body was feeling it , personifying it . My lungs were working up heavy breathing , and at this time , I was overwhelmed with the e ! word ! as if I had lost someone so close to heart ! but I know it ’ s the same reaction , when one is overwhelmed with emotion ! when one was moved , touched and inspired . I was !
In my mind , I would walk down the few steps towards the sea , submerged my body and express that whom is : GRATITUDE . And there are many reasons why ...
