Isn't she beautiful?
The dive was great today, as they have been all week. I zone out, she zones out and we just chill (except that it gets quite hot and muggy in there.)
So I was thinking about punctuation marks today, you know I never really learned how to use all those nifty marks and even though I love to write and took advanced composition in college (my papers got A's but my grammar tests got F's!) It just bores the h_ll out of me. And yes, even though I am married to a former English teacher with a Doctorate. I tend to sprinkle commas like a spice and they don't always go where they should. I like to call myself the queen of run-on sentences.
Anyway, the kind of punctuation marks I am referring to are the marks in your life timeline. The moments when something said, done or undone changed the course of your life forever, for the better or for the worse. What are yours if you care to share or just think of them to yourself? We all have them. Everyone has a life story and some are more interesting or exciting than others but I bet most people could come up with a decent short story memoir to share.
Here are a few of mine:
When I was in college, about to graduate with a degree in Zoology (how many jobs do you know that require that degree?) And I had no clue what to do next. I remember the moment I decided to become a teacher. On hind site I question the intelligence behind that choice but, no, it is the reason I have the husband, kids and life that I have today.
The moment I walked out on a cliff in Australia one night and heard God's voice in my heart, answering a youthful question I had very clearly. That has always stayed with me because it was so immediately answered.
The moment I laid on the ultrasound table and was told I had 5 babies growing inside, that is an entire post in itself so I will leave that for later.
The moment I decided my husband had my heart.
And so on . . .
My point to all this is my fervent wish that the end results of these HBOT treatments will be a huge neon punctuation mark in my daughter's life story. Or maybe not, but here's hoping.
Yes, Bonnie, she is!
