Waking up

  Have you ever had one of those days? The kind where it starts with you drowning, while upside down, in yogurt? Trying to figure out how to call for help, and still hold your breath, while doing that chest scream thing with no voice? And waking up kicking and trying to get that scream out? Yeah. I need to straighten out my dream life. It's a horrible irony to wake up tired.
  The rest of the day was pretty decent, bike ride on the beach, my honey back from his trip to the U.S. and a nice hour of rain.
  I am so freaking tired. But I'm tired of saying I'm tired. So it's time for an affirmation, right? Like... I have more than enough energy!  I have more than enough time! Or, I'm not tired, I'm conserving energy.
  I had this idea jar, and now I need to make a new one. I started to eat a candy cane (not easy to get here!), and I was working on the top hook part. I didn't finish, and I set it in the idea jar. I forgot about it. In the morning it had half melted all into the idea jar! The humidity here is crazy. I like the humidity, thank goodness. But not when it steals my candy cane.
  I guess that will be my writing assignment, to come up with more writing ideas.
Ron came back at 4:30pm yesterday. He spent about half an hour or more unpacking and putting gifts under the 'tree', so that we could start our Christmas. Then him, and me, and my Mom unwrapped. It was pretty good. I was very happy.
 I'm calling it my Glue Gun Christmas. I glued an ear-ring holder with some wire and an empty picture frame, for Mom. I glued a picture on a card, with a shell and cheesy stuff for Ron. I glued 2 separate Christmas trees. Yes, I was left along with a glue gun. And no, I don't have much experience with one. Then, best yet, I glued together a fake fire place for our stockings. That was the easy part. The hard part was keeping it hidden as a last minute surprise on Christmas eve. I have no idea where I got the idea from. Probably Facebook, which I love. Then I did a Google search, and found a few ideas to work with. Then all I needed was a big box. I found a bicycle box, and the whole thing came together in record time. It was amazing, if I do say so myself. Turned out great, and I was sooooo happy! I didn't think I had it in me. But I do! Huh. How about that.
  I will post pictures of my creations in the morning, after a good night's sleep. (I hope!!!!!)

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

Image
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...
