Mermaid Joy

I am in love with mermaids, they are such a fun and whimsical mythological creature (some claim we may have evolved from mer people...google it!).  I found this great sign for my wall with some of my favorite mermaid advice.  

Get your tail to the beach
Be shore of yourself
Don't get tide down
Make Waves
Catch a sea breeze
Avoid pier pressure
Always sea life's beauty
Come of your shell
Take time to coast
Keep the beach clean
It's my home sweet home

I even bought my own mermaid blanket.  I'm sort of into spoiling myself lately. There comes a day when you just need to be that selfish.  As my favorite artist, Rodney White states: Self-ish, Being More Like Yourself.  At least I have more time for it these days.

Today my sister humored me by going to The Hotel Del Coronado's Mermaid Fitness Class with me. I have been feeling down and thought certainly being a mermaid would fix it! I am in love mermaids and it was a blast actually getting to be one and doing it with my sister as well.  The hotel even had a mermaid Christmas tree!

The cute mermaid fitness coach (complete with mermaid scale tattoos on her hip) told us about one of her guilty pleasures, the series Mako Mermaids, so of course, I started watching it today on Netflix.










I even attempted to paint my own mermaid today...although my skills always disappointment me, I'll keep trying.  Painting is a great way to relax and keeps me in the moment.










My favorite mermaid art of all is the mermaid mural on the Catalina Island Casino...maybe one day I'll get my own print...or get my hubby to do his own rendition, he's a great artist...and since we went there on our honeymoon it has special memories.
