Another dolphin moment!
Just had the wonderful experience of watching a dolphin feed behind the house! I'm worse than a kid watching them! They are so beautiful and make the world seem like such a great place. As I watched him feed, I thought of the time 3 years ago when I was in the midst of heavy treatment and the yucks, looking out and seeing them feed like today! There's something magical about them. That moment brightened my day then and now and I'm hoping that this one will bring good fortune to those entering new treatments, searching for needed help and fighting the temptation to slip into fear.
Luv to all and wishing for you to have a dolphin moment yourself today, ma
