So first of all, the folks at Blue Season Bali and the Best Dive Job sent an email out saying that they are selecting the "short list" for the trip to Bali and they are sending it out on Monday... so if you haven't already, please check out my youtube video that is linked on their channel. Also, if you haven't made a comment, that would be greatly appreciated also. And of course, THANK YOU to everyone who has made comments... this week I got some great ones and everything is SO appreciated. I have some amazing people in my life and I am VERY lucky for that!
Beyond all the self-promoting there, I am really nervous. I hope to make the short list -- screw that, I want to win this thing. If I don't, I will keep moving on, but this is something that I really really want. I know that the chances of actually winning this contest are really slim, but it is truly something that would change my life.
I never got the chance to study abroad, or travel as an adult - I've always been working and working and working. And having the chance to truly follow my dreams and heart with an opportunity like this would be absolutely amazing. I have never felt the way I do when I dive and being able to do it everyday, and to learn to teach others and to share it with them would be amazing. BUT, I know that the chances are slim and if I don't get the chance to go to Bali, I am still going to continue with my diving, and divemaster and eventually I will be teaching...
It must be stressful for the folks at BSB -- I know how difficult it is to pick the right people. I read each and every contestant application for all the Get Fit Challengers and with each one I picked I found something special. It was such hard work to pick each of them, but it was so worth it and each of them are such special people in my life. I dunno - I hope that this is my GFC and that they see in me what I saw in all of my challengers...
On a health note, I got to see my heart and lungs yesterday when I got the echocardiogram. Although I don't know the results, the tech said that it looked good. Plus, they would have kept me if there was something wrong. Although I am technically nursing a broken heart, I am pretty sure that it not actually physically broken, just emotionally. I also got to see my liver, whom I apologized to for all the abuse that I have put it through. I was joking with the tech that he probably will find more damage in my liver than in my heart and/or lungs... I think I definitely entertained him yesterday (then again, I tend to entertain people everywhere I go).
I go back to Dr. Kessler next week - I am 99.999% sure he is going to say - ok fool, keep taking your blood thinners, don't get bit by a shark and go live your life just as you have before. And that is exactly what I plan to do. :)
Ok so thanks for reading and for all your support.
