The water baby is smiling....

These are a few of the pictures I took while I was away. To be able to sit high above the water and look out at this view did me a lot of good.

​My body went there tense and tired, and my mind was hurting too...but to see this view, was the balm I needed. I came home yesterday smiling and hurting but I am so glad I went.

I lived beyond my pain and I made some memories. The star lite sky brought me to tears and the memory I will always hold (I just wish my eyes could take pictures) ​​

There are going to be moments in our lives that no matter how much we may hurt, we can't stop living for us...doing the things we need to rebuild, re-energize and re-focus ourselves. ​

And yes, sometimes that will mean we will hurt more for what we do. 

Live for you and the memories you build and learn to care for yourself when you've lived beyond your pain.
