Cayman Brac is a small island off of Grand Cayman due South of Miami and Cuba - the people were friendly, the island secluded, and the rum punch tasty. I also got to celebrate my 34th birthday while on the island (who could ask for anything better), the only thing missing were my little ones, but it was a good time to reconnect with my hubby.
I started off "34" snorkeling in the ocean....which I will admit I was scared and did have a panic attack when I first got into the ocean and wanted to get out, but I knew it was a panic attack and continually tried calming my mind and trying to relax my breathing until I finally put my head underwater and pushed off with my fins. Before I knew it it, I was looking at all this wonderful sea life and was out in the ocean, we ended up snorkeling quite a bit and who knows I just may become a diver by 35th birthday or at least I'm going to continuing with the snorkeling ;)
As I was thinking about everything while relaxing, I realized that the older I get, the more comfortable I finally am in my own skin. I'm not a young, skinny girl with a flat tummy and perky (you know what)....I have stretch aka "respect" marks from bearing two babies and thank goodness for the push-up bra, and I'm not concerned about my weight. I'm happy, I'm healthy, and there is nothing more I could ask for....life is good. I'm actually looking forward to turning "35" as I've got some plans in store, but I won't share the details....you'll have to wait for that....
