Have you ever wondered

Beauty can just fill the soul!

As my freind

says

"one frame at a time"

we should all try hard to take life

one

frame at a time!

What remarkable beauty

and

wonderment

my last week was

with joy that filled me

along with great laughter

and

oh the sights to behold!

I definately left the world of "doing"

and

settled into

"being"

and

now that I think about it

yes

"it was indeed one frame at a time"!

We captured great memories

savored each moment

and

oh how the laughter filled the winds, the waters

and

the memories we made!

But

now I must tell you

some of the sights we saw

were a bit much for the eyes

and

we all had to wonder...

[I had to slap ole' DLB and Joan a few times]

encouraging them to put on their shades

and

even at times to try to not be quite so obvious

in their people watching!

But

wonder we did

at the things some wore aboard the ship

and

wondered even more when they tried on those bathing suits

knowing full well that they

did look into mirrors at themselves before making that purchase and leaving the stores...

BUT

again

I'm all for "free will" and "choices"

and

have been encouraged

that

next cruise I just mmight get me a bikinia

or

a

THONG

and

just let the flab fall where it may!

As the brilliant philosopher

Dr Seuss has taught us,

 "If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good”

And the skies were a sight to behold from the seas; the people of the Bahamas tried to get us to buy the islands... they were lovely indeed...

Folks on the ship

were a kick,

the staff for the most part a delight and made sure we had the best time ever

although me and the guy with the towels had to have a conversation more than once

on getting those towels

but

he finally understood!

But

then there were those

"can't resist Kodak moments"

and

the times I just had to "slap my darlings"

cos' they were just having too much fun

as

they people watched!

Ohhhh my the music

was

HOT HOT HOT

and

the hot bodies

they were there too;

the muscles beautiful in the bathing suits

those that were indeed

"easy on the eye"

and

there were little ones in all mannner of suits

including a little girl of about 7

who was topless!

That did not sit well with

Olivia!!!

There was great diversity on this cruise

and

we liked that;

from many countries, many colors,

we saw many power scooters

many young and old

and

we saw some sights that just were

amazing!

Did I mention:

I had to slap DLB and Joan?

Yep , had to slap em I did!

SPEEDO... really?

BUTT

SOME THINGS

i could just not slap them about...

CAN U SAY\

"I GO TO A TANNING SALON?"

YEPPERS, had to slap my girls several times,

BUTT

I'm thinkin

IT WAS ALL GOOD!

and

when you really think about it:

those folks

had the best time evah,

perhaps even as good a time

as we did

(although hard to imagine)

cos'

I never did hear their laughter as I was too busy enjoying

ours!

AND ohhh how we laughed

and

enjoyed each moment

and

only three or so times

did someone approach me and let me know of their

"grief/angst/story"

...

I do think perhaps it is

in the DNA or I have a "scent" that others can pick up

that lets them know who or what I do

that makes them seek me out!

One woman was so drunk, but found me

in the casino; saying she was "drawn to me, to tell me her story"...

UH OHHH,

"she was tryin to walk into my happy place"

hahaha

Well

had it not been for this sigtook n

DLB and Joan

would have thrown her overboard

cos'

it was

"Crusie time"

and

I was in my happy place

so they just simply took over for me

saying

"nobody, NOPE not nobody gets in to see the wizard on this trip,

sorry but not NOBODY"

and

that took care of that! 

When you cruise ....

REMEMBER YOUR SHADES!

OHHH the places you will go

and

the sights you will see!

If you look close

you will even see me

in the lens of Olivia!

haha

“"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr Seuss So to those who gave us great enjoyment and made our eyes strain and those who we admired for their beautiful bodies and made us swear we were going to start exercise plans and programs once and now that we have hit the land 'WE THANK YOU' ... I am reminded of Maya Angelou how said it and I use it so often, "nothin works unless you do" as I saw those buff bodies and beautiful tans along with bodies that I would have wrapped up rather than show they also taught me and reminded me that beauty is all around and comes in all shapes and sizes... If a person wants to show theirs in a string bikini or speedo good for ya! And for others who enjoy the people watching I cannot think of a better place to do it than on a cruise and Oh how I love Norweigian Sky free stylin is my style of cruise! Bathin suit and shorts for the whole cruise except for the elegant dining evening and it was 5 star plus! We sure did have a fine time and re entry to reality has been and is an adjustment but the sun is shining today and for that I am grateful! I may be working today, but I still got my TOES IN THE WATER of the Bahamas!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB8Nkn3Xjes BEst to all today Walk In Beauty DRSES www.drsherrryeshowalter.com
