Yesterday I skipped my weekly therapy session so I could sunbathe, swim, and belly laugh with family.

We drank tropical drinks. We buried our toes in the sand. We took silly pictures. We shared smoothies and brownies and inside jokes.

We stayed out until the sun went down on Waikiki.

My heart and soul craved connection. Levity. Beauty. And that’s exactly what we found.

Sometimes you gotta dive deep, and sometimes you gotta chase the sun. Yesterday, I think I did both.

My therapist will be proud.
