Ray and I were just leaving the beach area and heading for home after our evening walk when a woman passed by and said “Ven y mira la liberation de las Tortuga’s! Come and see the release of the turtles!

What a gift it was to get that information! We followed her back down to the beach where a large group of mainly Mexicanos were standing near the water. We got there just as they started the countdown for the release. So many baby turtles! We had witnessed turtle releases in Costa Rica but not with anywhere near this many turtles. Such a blessing being able to watch them take those first steps to freedom.

I know there is a large percentage of them that will not make it to adulthood but hope was alive today❤️. It is that character strength of hope that keeps our hearts at peace when the odds are against us. Watching this amazing sight helps me remember that we aren’t promised tomorrow but today is filled with hope and it is a gift to be savored ❤️
