The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live in that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it,under its roof(barbara kingsolver)... this is the journey of defining my hopes and living them to the fullest...and all the random junk along the way.

The Cruise

Ahhhh... I just got home from 5 days or MUCH needed R&R!!!! I went o Key West and Cozumel with 9 other people...some I knew well...others not so much... but that didn't matter as by the end...we were all best buds! I had nothing short of a magical time. The sights were beautiful, the refreshments helped me forget what I left behind... ;) i didn't think about work or bills or obligations once! I spent all dy everyday outside by the pool, in the ocean, or getting sweaty in order to cool off by the pool.. what a life! I even contemplated becoming a cruise ship nurse! how cool would that be??? I have tons of pictures (all of which need some sort of explanation due to compromising content ;))...i will post them online soon.

Isn't it true that all good things must come to an end? In my life that usually happens rather quickly, without warning so as to leave me completely dumbfounded. Such is the case with my return home. I found my cat (whom I'v have for 8 years now) very very sick. He couldn't walk, had not eaten, could barely hold his head up...i won't bore you with details but turns out he had cancer and nothing could be done.. I had to end my vacation with the death of Dakota!!!! Saddest day EVER!!!!!

Other than that...which i am still reeling from....I had an amazing time and CANNOT wait to do it again!!!
