I’m a lucky one

despite the dream i had where my mother tried to marry me off to my cousin at a water park i woke up on a peaceful island to the sound of waves crashing up on the shore; i’m slightly exhausted as I didn’t get much sleep last night but I’m more excited to be out and about than most. It is 6:17 am.  I’ve never considered myself to be anything close to a morning person but maybe that’s an additional beauty of Hawaii; waking up ain’t that bad. Once the blurred thought enters my head that a sight to behold is waiting, i just can’t return to sleep.  I’m in Hawaii now with sister and Emily; it’s going swimmingly. We snorkeled yesterday in the lagoon and I saw so many colorful sights of beautiful tropical fish swimming about; i absolutely LOVE tropical fish; their vivid colors and strange shapes matched with their constant suspended bobbing brought on by that fluttering dorsal fin brings me such joy. i snagged a view of a sea turtle, eeeeenormous little mermaid looking eel, a school of beautiful angel fish, butterfly fish, and more with names I don’t know with colors and patterns I simply can’t describe. Should i ever live to be comfortable, i would absolutely love love love a tropical fish tank. Too bad i have absolutely no baseline knowledge. Welp, you know what they say - life is to be learned.  I’m doing my best to be present; in the moment; and naming the emotions I feel as I do; it absolutely helps that I am with people I can be completely myself with -- currently there are hot bodied surfers in the water just ahead of me;  waiting for waves on their boards patiently floating at the edge of the ocean and I contemplate going for a walk so i can get a closer look.  Let’s skedaddle.

Em: idk who that is but i just hope my kid is like this. A total ham.

M: Two hams marrying each other - it's highly likely you'll have a ham. I hope when you and John do decide to have chilluns it'll have a due date around the holidays so i can reuse this joke -- and call it a holiday ham. I call dibs on that. But also, no hams really necessary for happiness.

Em: I have no other friends who would make that joke. S'all yours bud

M: HAHAHAHHAHHA. SWEET! I'm laughing at your kitchen table -- and you are not here.

EM: I love it
