Sunsets

  I think in categories. I have to get used to writing a blog which has to be different from my years of writing a journal. In my journals I whine a lot and work things out until I can let go of negative things. This will be different. Now let's see if I can post a picture. It's entirely possible to take too many sunset pictures, but I'll take that chance. I love how big and orange the sun gets when it sets over the ocean. This is the south Pacific ocean, in Costa Rica. I think this beach is called Buena Vista. We saw some broken shells on the rocks. The really huge kind. It's our dream to find one intact. This is our second sunset on this beach, and it's like being on a movie set! The tricky part was how slimy and slippery the rocks were as we explored low tide. This beach is a few minutes away from where we live, by moped.

The Problem isn't the problem

The problem with terrible and tough things is that they don’t have to be so tough: if I would stop being so emotionally involved in them. The problem with deep trials is that they prove who my real friends are. They make me see what things are really important. They force me to reveal my true strength. They make me have to change, and grow. They challenge my ideas of what Love really needs to be. They compel me to Question Things. Darkness has a way of giving me a chance to shine, to learn about the light. I am learning. It's all about the blessons. The blessings in the lessons. This past month has been one wild ride.  Here is something I wrote on DAY 6: Every night around 7pm my legs start to ache. I don’t think it’s fair, I’ve been working so hard, and I should have lost about fifteen pounds by now. The big fancy scale in the garage says I’m still at the same weight as when we first arrived one month ago. Phooey. I don’t whose fault it is. I believe in the jun...

2 days of Nha Trang fun

I finally felt functional so we went on the long anticipated cable car ride from Nha Trang to Vinpearl island. It's like a Disneyland. Or so I'm told, I've never been there. This was one cool island. Their water park looked pretty extensive in an impressive kind of way. It's so horribly hot during the day, we avoided most of it by heading over around 4pm. The cable car ride was pretty amazing. The water was such a pretty color. A tall ride over the South China Sea on a fun adventure. The ride was 12 minutes long. That's about quadruple the time it took us to stand in line in the evening just to get into one. There were no lines on the way there, and we had a romantic ride by ourselves. On the way back there were 8 of us hovering over the dark water on our way back. We did one ride that went all over the property in a kind of bumper car on a track. The first half of the ride was about going up and around and it was all automated. It went from where the cable cars l...

Love will win.

   The more I write, the more I see the intricate psychology of writers. I love my writing community, and knowing that I belong.   What should I write about today? Isn't it supposed to be important to have something of value to say?? What has been my latest travels? That's always a favorite topic of mine. The last travel was the 7-8 hour drive from Apple Valley in California over to the coast and go north to Santa Barbara. Oh, it was such a nice day for a drive. We had the car packed perfectly. The ocean was beautiful. We saw some cool things like the city of Los Angeles, and a ship so big that in the distance Ron thought it was an island. I saw another gorgeous moon rise quickly followed by a sunset. The Joshua trees turned into weird shaped things that were filled in by a black permanent marker. The moon came up and traveled through the pink and purple layers of the sky as it faded from the light. It was amazing. Then we got a call to turn around, because the job we...
