Whales...

I might be Native American and not realize it. Their culture is fascinating and I've read a ton of books so I know they have animals that represent their spirit guide. I think whales are my spirit guide! (If you want to do more reading about my silly musings, you can check this out. Very interesting!)

Who knows what movie I saw in 7th grade about the whales but I loved it. I've loved Free Willy, Whale Rider, and have always been absolutely fascinated with the whales at Sea World. It was on my bucket list to go on a cruise to see the whales. I just think that would be neat.

When you get a diagnosis and prognosis ALL the things you've put off come to the surface. Every time someone asked if what I wanted to do I just want to go see the whales. Of course, I need a digital SLR w/ a mac daddy zoom for that to be a truly effective trip but I wanna see them. Wonder if there are tours where you can like zoom around the ocean on one? Within a fence of course because I'd hate to get the rebel whale that left the boat way, way, way behind!!!!! Ya know?

Anyway, one night I had a dream that Mom and I were in Germany. I was looking at the changes since I lived over there and all excited that some things had not changed. I was seeing a specialist who had a wall that was solid glass. A whale flipped up in the creek out the window (What can I say? It was a dream!) and I was so excited to see the whale. I was yelling for Mom to look and part of me was sad that I didn't have a camera. The other part was just so happy to actually see that in person.

None of this really came together in my head until I had my port put in. The surgeon showed up and his tie had whales on it!!!! I am blind as a bat without contacts or glasses on but I was pretty sure it was whales. I asked Amber and sure enough it was.

I don't know what the whales represent but they keep showing up. I googled it to see what I would have in common with the whales other than the few obvious characteristics.

We are both round. A belly buster is as graceful as a swan dive no matter what anyone tells you. LOL They have blow holes to breath through and I have one that I feel sputter when I am mad or need to vent. We both love the water. I am a little jealous they can swim under water and I can't but.... Yes, I'm crazy!

Anyway, the whales have joined the support group! Sooner or later it might make sense. Hey, maybe my port is like a blow hole???? It hurt pretty bad but I know the pain will ease up. It better!
