I've Got a Caribbean Soul


The other night as Scott and I were dinghying over to our friend's boat for dinner during a particularly beautiful sunset, I thought: God I love my life...


The sun was balancing like a glowing orb right on the horizon and was about as big and orange as I've ever seen it.  The sky around it swirled like fresh watercolors from orange to purple and pink and faded upward into that magnificent midnight blue that precedes dark.  It was one of those rare occasions that I didn't have my camera with me and cursed myself for missing out on the shot.  But then I just settled back and instead of fiddling with camera settings and viewing the magic through my LCD screen, I just,watched as the sun seemed to gently melt into the water.

It was beautiful.  And it was one of those moments where I knew with complete certainty, "I am exactly where I should be".

Love,
Brittany & Scott

    I love that feeling, and have it often as well! Much more than I had when I lived on land. The goal I feel is to carry it around with you, all the time. Great post!
