A Dance Upon the Sea

We sit at the waters edge comforting a sweet embrace. It stills our hearts and breaths to see the dolphins play. Synchronized arches of dance in the air and back down. Nose first into the sea and back up again breaking surf. Flair of beauty, impressive moves, pirouetting from the sea. They're awe-inspiring masters of their water ballet display.

I see now you are going to have the surgery very soon. My best wishes for you. On the nursery rhymes, had you guessed for the first one Baa Baa Black Sheep and second one was LIttle Bo Peep.

Yep I thought right on the nursery rhymes. Thanks for your best wishes for me on my surgery. This one will be more painful then the cervical surgery. But I'm strong minded and will get through it well, I pray. Warm Smiles, Connie

We go to Florida every year and the dolphins always do their dance upon the sea as we sit at the water edge along the gulf beaches. Russell your comment means a lot. Thank you. Warm Smiles, Connie
