And she's off...

...back to Costa Rica...back to surfing (one might say she's addicted) ;)
Hopefully she will have grand pictures and fabulous stories to share. She hopes everyone has a safe and wonderful Labor Day weekend/week. (She doesn't know why she is referring to herself as "she"...she better stop) :)

Anyways, a dear friend/family member passed this along to me today. It definitely goes along with my whole Carpe Diem mantra. Just some good things to think about. :)

much love
