The ocean has always drawn me. I remember being in preschool, so happy that my Grandmother was treating me to the book of my choice at our local book store. I clung to the hardcover Underwater Discoveries book by Jaques Cousteau while she tried to talk me into something more "age appropriate". I think it bothered her that there was some French guy in a tiny speedo throughout the pages but I didn't care. I had made my choice! She granted my wish and I enjoyed it over and over again, until the pages were worn. I still hold that wonder in my heart.
