If today was your last day . . . ?
This was a question Darrell and I pondered on the beach in Cancun, Mexico just as the moon was beginning to rise up over the ocean - a ritual we enjoyed almost every night.
It had been a perfect day. The weather was beautiful, the company was fun and playful and loving, and the surroundings couldn't have been more gorgeous. Throughout our week there, we did whatever we wanted to do . . We learned how to Hobie Cat (a small sail boat); we jet skied; we took a ferry to Cozumel, rented a skooter, and toured the island where we found an out of the way little restaurant where we drank a cool, refreshing rum punch; we played water volleyball; particpated in other games; met some fantastic people from around the world including Jack and Red from Texas; ate unbelievably yummy meals and watched as the waiter served us sexy coffee - quite the show!
No regrets, no stress, and no concerns . . . Yet, tomorrow was going to be our last day. What were we going to do? What was it that we REALLY wanted to do?
We had 2 things left that we considered. One would've been a very long, hot, and minute to minute kind of day that would've left us very tired - but also probably very excited, too. It was an all day tour of the Mayan ruins. We would've left first thing in the morning for a 3 1/2 hr bus ride, walked a mile, explored the ruins, walked back that same mile, eaten lunch, and finished the day with the long bus ride home. It sounded like fun, BUT not something we REALLY wanted to do on our last day.
We decided instead to sleep in just a bit, eat a good breakfast, go parasailing - which was an absolute blast!! - go sailing on the Hobie Cat one more time where we saw a real, live starfish swimming, and finish the day again by sitting out on the beach watching the clouds and the lightning flashes off in the distance, reflecting, dreaming, and snuggling.
It was another perfect day. We wouldn't have changed a thing . . on our last day.
If today were your last day, what would you do with it? What would you REALLY love to spend your time doing? How could you finish this day saying - Another perfect day!!
