The beach does call.

MAN WAS IT HOT TODAY! I was supposed to go spend time with the X tonight, but he told me he is not feeling well, so he bailed, and I decided to go to the beach. I spent a looong time swimming up and down the beach, treading water, enjoying the sun, ocean, breeze, and beauty that was the beach.

It was excellent. Cool water, hot sun, and beauty everywhere... I was in heaven. Not to mention while I was practicing my treading water (10 minutes with hands and legs, and 5 minutes just legs arms above head - I'm so sore right now) the Snowbirds flew overhead a few times!!!

I will be starting at the Body Barn soon. I'm so excited! I may even get a personal trainer for a while ($89 for 3 months, and for an extra $19 you can get a personal trainer... Yean I'm SO all over that!), I CANT WAIT. By this time next year, I plan to be working out 5 - 7 days a week, and be back at my SCUBA (or better) fitness level (when I finished my SCUBA instructor course, I think I was the fittest I had ever been). It's going to be hard... But like I said below.. The time for the easy road is gone.

At work today, I applied for a trainer position. I actually forgot how much experience and training I had in that field. I may actually have a real shot!

Also at work we were talking about dream jobs... and everyone said theirs... They got to me (this was a casual lunch conversation) and I said "Marine Biologist specializing in Sharks".

They went silent.

This proclamation was then followed by.. "Wow, that's so not what we though you would say Cindy... Your already to qualified to be here (yeah right I though) and your telling us that you want to do something ELSE altogether". I sort of touched on my "the ocean" feelings, and what not.

But I made some decisions.

I'm going to save up and take come night courses and MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

As well one of my co-workers (one of the best idea people I have ever seen) and an amazing net worker (she knows EVERYONE) said she knew people at the oceanographic institute, and would see if she could help get me in to volunteer!! HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE!!!

I can see my way to the ocean...

It is like nirvana.

But, I must get to bed... I'm tired, sore, and smell like the ocean (ok well that kicks butt).

Maybe tonight I can dream of something new...

Maybe the ocean will call to my dreams!
