Hi Michelle,
What a great experience! I agree, a sense of community is an important component for joy! I went on a cruise to Mexico with a friend and the day we were in Mexico we went zip-lining. We were with a group of people we had never met before. By the end of the outing we were all “friends” and throughout the entire experience we were supportive of each other and part of a team. That was even more spectacular to experience than the zip-lining!
Happy new year! Great post!! xo, Jodi

awesome blog, Michelle! A few things stood out and gave me chills and tears……..”time stood still” on your cruise..I could see and feel that with you…….I absolutely LOVE those moments when “time stands still”…I call them “memory minutes”………..you never know when they are going to come but when they do, they rock your world and those are the memories that you can relive over and over when you are 90 years old………….awesome….secondly, the 80 year old couple….sooo touching. I would have balled. I am a sucker for that!! I was in a friends wedding years ago that was married in Southern California….overlooking the ocean in a gazebo in Pismo Beach…as she walked down the “aisle side walk” with her Dad, she had Louis Armstrong’s song “wonderful world” playing….the most beautiful thing I have ever heard and seen…….still gives me chills… lastly, you and Bill singing spontaneously to each other….soooo cool my friend. I think the spontaneous things in life are the best! Some things we just could not plan…….they just happen…”life does happen when you are making other plans”. Who do I need in my life? I need you. xoxo Sharon

Michelle, you are a master story teller. I get a tear in my eye every time I read your blog posts. I feel as if I’ve know you forever and feel so blessed to be part of your life today. The impact you and Bill have on others just by sharing your life is tremendous! The word “train” has a whole new meaning now. Thanks Michelle
