I write this for the people who read it, but, at the same time, I read it from time to time and see the different parts of our life, and experience of the island that has changed us.
Well, where to start? The Kmart chapter of my life is now over, and I have no regrets. It got us through some tough times and I am greatful. However, what a bunch of losers~LOL! And I am so happy to be out of there.
Mark has gotten a new job and found out he will be promoted soon :O) So much he deserves and I hope this is what makes him happy at his job.
I have found a new attitude and am happy to say, it is working for me. For now. Which as you all know I change from day to day! I don't need or desire to be a manager, do the corporate thing anymore. I am happy right now working as a waitress making people happy. I don't get yelled at, the standard is pretty much set and the people go away happy for the most part. I am happy dong this on the island. I don't have to focus on the negative part of island living, the poverty, the difference in values and entitlement. I found it makes me happier to be around, and Mark is trying to deal with the new me! LOL "What's wrong?" "Are you okay?" "Are you feeling well?" Why? Because I am happy and content..........I am not bitchy all the time, and I am finally at peace with being here and happy.......WOW!
Simple things like floating on a noodle in the ocean with Mark, cold beer and friends makes me happy. Watching the sunset with Mark makes me happy. Sitting in the gazebo, having a cocktail talking about "stuff" makes me happy. Living in a tiny place with Mark, where I can run the a/c 24/7 for less the $120 a month, makes me happy!
Thougt for everyone, appreciate the moments that matter, the little things that make you comfortable (a/c) not the space that you have that you don't use, the junk that you collect and don't need! The memories and experience is what we take with us everyday.........
For now, "life is good today!"
