four days in mexico

As is obvious from the lack of recent posts I've been in a bit of a creative slump....arghhh....nothing like a very relaxing four days in Mexico to jolt me out of my melancholy mood and remind me what life's really all about.....

not caring that you woke up an hour too early because you forgot to change the time....a mistake unrealized because you'd stopped checking the time.....


pulling out your best beach tricks...I'm a fan of sand angels and underwater handstands....


loving your new summer dress even though it accentuates your well-nurtured "food baby" grown over the winter.....it's a ten pounder!.....


watching how the ocean turns everyone into a kid again.....


letting the water rush over your feet and not bothering to rinse the sand from between your toes.....


going fishing.....more fun when done the hard way.....


backfloating.....
remembering what it was like to learn how to backfloat.....scary and exhilirating.....
teaching someone else how to backfloat.....unforgettable.....


making time for siestas.....especially in a hammock forest......


taking time to be alone.....


even when you're not alone.....


remembering that the miraculous is never too far away.....sometimes you just have to get out of dodge to find it.....


while never taking for granted the magic and inspiration that surrounds you every day....
