They Saw Me...

They saw me... I’m do not like the water I kept reassuring my friends and they begged me to take a cruise with them for my big “Over the hill” birthday. No, I repeated over and over again until my face turned red. But we’ve already purchased the package and it’s to your favorite place, my cousin exclaimed in excitement. Plus, are you the one that always says, you only live once, she reminded me as if I really wanted to hear that at this point. With a knot in my throat and an unsettling in my stomach, I quickly said okay, okay before I could change my mind. But we have to have an inside cabin and I’m not stepping out on deck until we reach our destination. You guys know how hydrophobic I am. They all just came in for the group hug as if I hadn’t said anything. But my heart was saying something different.
