We had plans, dag nab it.   But… as the old saying goes… that is the way the ball bounces.

The choppy-waves-ball bounced right on top of our plans today.  Our scheduled journey was going to be a submarine excursion.  We were to dive down to about 100 to 150 feet, and explore a shipwreck and more.  I was pretty dag-nabbin’ excited about the whole deal.

Well… the old rough waters got the best of the boat.  So they cancelled our outing.  Okay.  Fine.  We regrouped and had a great day.   Golden.  Since we had made the drive down to Georgetown, and already braved the Cruise Ship crowds, we did some shopping, and grabbed some lunch.

It was fun.  Interesting.  A little scary at times.  But good.  People on cruise ships can be scary at times…I have come to find out.  Yet… we maneuvered through.  We even learned some things about Cricket.   Not much… albeit.  The sport looks very confusing.

Later… on our way back up to the East End, we stopped at a little shop that made mostly soap.  Nice smelling bars of soap.  So….we bought a lot of the stuff.  In fact… we have enough bars….we could build a jail cell.  And tonight….   I took a shower with some Lime and Coconut Soap.  I smell great….. and with a nose like this… I would know.

Finally tonight… dinner with our pals Jan and Colleen.   Great food, fun, and company…. from start to finish.

So the point of all of this…. is that we were able to regroup.  Easily.    Regardless of the situation…. our attitudes are our choice.  Thankfully, we chose to be happy, and content.

That really shouldn’t be that difficult, when you are on an island, in the middle of the Caribbean, with a group of people you really love.  If I can hang on to this…. when I get back to the day-to-day of things….  when it is 18 degrees outside… and I have a flat tire….  and I have to be in an appointment in five minutes… and my phone just lost its charge……   Yep… if I can hold onto this notion of going with the flow….. it will be golden… or even yellow….

…. like a Yellow Submarine.
