So, I have a new URL for my blog, which will hopefully deter a few less than desirable readers from following my life too closely. I’d rather not start a brand new blog, it hasn’t quite come to that. 3 years worth of rambling nonsense… who could throw that away so easily?? ☺ This is merely a “discourager”, however feeble and nonfunctional. lol.
Enough on that, I choose positivism as my state of mind of choice. Hmmm, some interesting definitions there.
pos·i·tiv·ism n
1. the theory that knowledge can be acquired only through direct observation and experimentation rather than through metaphysics and theology
2. the state or quality of being positive
Give us yer dos centavos on that one.
Maui, Maui, what can I say? Where do I start? I really feel lucky to have been able to experience such an Island paradise, best of all leaving Sac with lower expectations and upon arriving being blown away by the simple beauty of so much untouched nature.
Now, I like to think I can be happy anywhere I happen to be. I try to look for the best in life, like rainy days in this small boring town – the air is fresh, the greenery is greener, my feet get wet and cold but I know that later on someone’s going to warm em up and snuggle with me till I’d wish for the coldest feet everyday forever just so my days would end like that always. That’s what I tell myself as reality of it is that I have to look for these things otherwise it would just be plain depressing and suck… in Maui it was different. I really felt my spirit alive everyday and just breathing made me smile for no reason, like no other time I can remember. This made me start to wonder if maybe our souls are individually tailored to attain the potential we were created for by taking into consideration our physical environments. Not to say we can’t live and be happy in absolutely anywhere…but maybe we have each have a special place… I know mine’s where everything is irie and carefree… oh and where I can wear coconut bras. ;) One day, one day. Wanna come with me??
The dichotomy that stood out as most apparent there is that it’s like a 3rd world country but it’s not. You have all the goods and services of the 1st world but the mindset is different, warm-hearted and less complicated. Of course the pace is slower, which means things don’t run quite as efficiently… our bags didn’t make it to the airport along with 20 or so others. It was slightly stressful at first since we are used to getting what we want instantly or at least being able to talk to someone who can give you a direct answer about what the hell is going on and will we ever see our bags again, but no… nobody could really say anything except that they would find them and drop them off at our hotel later. So ok, we had to go with that and just walk away with our fingers crossed. I was resigning myself to not ever see them again and spend our trip in a bikini I would have to buy. Hey I pretty much did that anyway, but low and behold the next morning we call downstairs and they have our bags! All in all I just think that getting stressed out and worked up over things is a waste of life. There are 4 things we need in life: rocking chairs, wind chimes, sex and mojitos. What else do YOU need?? :)
Snorkeling, boogie boarding, make-outs, sunsets, sunrises, Tanqueray Martinis, delectable fish, volcanic craters, Hana,
