morning light
today was laundry day
here is something you may not know but most houses
here in roatan have their washer and dryers
outside the house in a botaga
that is really like a big shed under the house
so
that means that when i do laundry
i have to go outside to do it
i don't mind at all except at night
i never do laundry at night in case there
might be a tarantula, a scorpian or a rat in the botaga.
um no thanks!
anyways, this morning as i was walking
back towards the house
i saw my hibiscus bathed in morning light
and i thought
it is a good thing i have to come outside
to do my laundry or i would have missed it
i am pretty convinced that life consists of
small joys
and this flower
was one of them for me
i did alot of housework today getting ready to leave
for canada on monday
i had stephanie come and she did all the windows.
it was such a hot afternoon
i know it is hot in canada and the states right now
so you can relate to it
sweating has become a normal past time for me
yup
i admit
but on the flip side
we have the sea closeby
so we went for such a delightful snorkel to cool down
the fish were out in plenty feeding off the coral
it was remarkably clear too so the visualibility
was awesome
the highlight?
ummm seeing a pair of french angelfish
seeing a huge huge parrotfish
a trunk fish (my all time favorite)
a large trigger fish
and last but not least
we got to swim with a beautiful hawksbill sea turtle
amazing time!
joys...
big and small
i am grateful for this experience.
