Day 2 sailing, and it was lovely to sleep in and relax… with Charlie. We had a leisurely breakfast and watched DVD's and just vegged out until it was time to head to my lecture.
The lecture was lovely and everyone was so interested and even though I only did one reading, it was great that the lady's husband came through to her, and her daughter… it was his way of saying I'm sorry and I'm ok.
It was beautiful to witness.
Charlie and I chilled and relaxed and then it was time for the cocktail party with everyone which was great and we met so many nice people. It's always nice to get dressed up too. Sometimes there are never enough excuses in life to put on a dress, killer heels and rock the joint! And that was just how I felt tonight.
I felt so much better than yesterday, (jeez, I was feeling rough yesterday) so I made up for it… my voice is still weak but I held my own at the dinner table.
I have met 2 very special people on this cruise, and one I instantly looked in his eyes and thought… wow I know you!!! His name is Ray and he is helping out with the bookstore for Hay house, we sat next to each other at dinner and chatted like we had known each other all our lives, and the chances are we had… but lives before this. And the other was Ibis… she is the person who has helped Hayhouse with the cruise and made this all possible. She is such a giving and open person you can't help to love her and also she sat the other side to me at the table… so I was torn between who I was going to talk to first.
And of course there is John…. delightful and warm and funny, John… You have just got to love him. I am so blessed to be here with these people at the moment, and they all love Charlie.
Who incidentally came from kids club tonight, and sat down as we were all having dessert and ate chocolate ice cream, followed by lamb chops!!! ha ha ha yes, he decided he was hungry after dessert!
It's been a perfect day, and ended a perfect way… Charlie and I sat on the balcony and looked into the clouds and we started to make out the cloud formations, and telling stories. It was so peaceful. He asked if we could sit there all night… I would love too but I was too tired to stay up, so I now lie in bed with my little man by the side of me who is reading everything I write and even wrote a few words himself… and we are going to snuggle down and get some zzzzzz preparing for another perfect day together!
Some people you feel you have known for ever and then there are others who make an impact, and either way, over the last few days I have met 2 people who are going to either be in my life forever or who have seriously impacted my life in a great way… and along with Charlie I am very very blessed.
Big hugs and much love
