It was different experience today being back at my “desk” – working. What I do as a consultant makes my brain work in a way which keeps me challenged – even after 25 years. The information is gathered and reported in a way which requires a logical overview and summary. It felt good and yet still surreal being here and doing that.
Meanwhile we confirmed proceeding with the purchase of the vehicle – hopefully to be wrapped up by Wednesday. We’ve organized for a house sitter to take care of the house on Thursday and Friday while we head to the beach. We’ve booked a hotel room close to Playa Grande on the Pacific Coast. While Walter and I always aimed to be here for Gregory’s birthday – we gave him the option to choose how he wanted to spend it. His choice – the ocean and a fruity ‘refreshing’ drink on the beach. We aim to please.
Walter and I have heard a lot of opinions since we arrived here – and some even before we got here. We made an observation today that while one person’s comments about something not being good (bread) may not be the case, and what one person says is expensive (ink cartridges) may also not be the case. We agreed we will make our own decisions based upon what we personally experience.
I did ask for someone else’s perspective today and she gladly related that she has lots of opinions to share. She and I agreed I may tap into these – ultimately making my own decision but I can feel free to including her perspective. Sometimes I find I need someone who has ‘been there, done that’ to bounce ideas off of – to get additional feedback to consider prior to proceeding. It felt good to have her in our corner today.
When we moved in, the owner asked if we were OK with geckos? I said sure. Someone informed me they are good to have around as they eat all the bugs in the house. We saw one the first few nights we were here. We named it Fred. No idea if it is a he or a she but we figure Fred could be both. As I type Fred is chirping away. Have not seen Fred since those first few nights but the large spider in Greg’s room is gone and Walter swears he heard a burp at some point last night.
Greg is enjoying the nuances of cat interaction. Harry seems to be enjoying Gregory’s company …even chewed his crocks earlier today.
Another day of settling in.
We have learned to only solicit opinions from recognized experts in those fields we are discussing. All others are misleading, painful and potentially dangerous.
Life is a journey of discovery…personal discovery, not someone else’s view.
Love being a part of your journey.
Well Hello there. Back at your desk today…I imagine you have been doing a bit of work all along! I see that you are moving forward with the vehicle, cool! And what is really cool is that you are going to the BEACH for Gregory’s birthday and a refreshing fruity drink! I am envious and so happy for you all at the same time…take envious the right way…you are doing what many people don’t ever get to…their dreams. I move forward towards mine every day… and have some lines drawn in the sand 5 years down the road…just takes time! You folks are an inspiration to me (and many, many others, I have no doubt) and love it!
Say Hi to Fred when he/she returns for more spiders.
Best to you folks!
Oh, I hope Walter received my Birthday message the other day. What day is Gregory’s Birthday? And yours, young lady?
Cheers – some info coming your way later today.
