Cool Change

This is a little off topic but, definitely related to my wreck diving adventures. I work a second job in the winter as a corporate tax accountant which involves long tedious hours and is mentally exhaustive. I do it because it provides funds for my diving adventures throughout the year. Well today, when I was so worn out and questioning why I keep this tiring job, the song Cool Change came on the radio. It immediately reminded me why I am working so hard...to be able to spend more time diving under the sea. This song gave me the strength to get through another tough day at work and dream of dive adventures to come. The words to this song are very meaningful to me and it also happens to be one of those songs that is often in my mind during a dive. I don't think it was a coincidence that this song came on the radio when I needed to hear it.

While we all share diving together, when you are underwater you are truly alone with nothing but your thoughts and breathing..it brings me such peace. I know when I go diving for the first time this year I'll be humming this song and thinking, I'm glad I worked all those hours so I can be here right now, enjoying another amazing NJ Wreck Dive!

Hi Kim, Your blog was posted directly beneath mine on NJDIVE so I took a look today and found it to be quite an interesting read. Keep it up and am looking forward to your reports on NJ boats this year.
