12.6.11 5 months til I am 30. Every 6th of the month I freak out a little harder. I know that I am closer to 30 every day. I have passed the 6 month point and now I have passed the 5 month point. Not even cool. I dread the 6th of the month every time it comes up. I am now 4 months and 30 days from being 30. GROSS.
So down here in Costa Rica things have been crazy. I am living in a place where I haven't had water to take a shower. (The water pump broke and is in the process of being fixed, for the last month) At first it wasn't bad because Holly was here and I took showers at her house. She left Saturday, so I haven't taken a REAL shower since then. Sunday was my first day of Pool Showering. You all may think its cool, but in the end its not cool at all. And you defiantly can not shave your legs! So it has been interesting. I finally got enough water to come out of the faucet to shave (can't be flirting with any boys with hairy legs!)
So after dunking my head in the pool to put so conditioner in my hair and washing my very oily face, I decided to go watch the sunset from the beach. I saw that it was gonna be a goodie from my house and headed on Precious Purple down to the ocean. I stopped and was taken away. The colors in the sky were magical.
I found a little patch of grass to sit on and be alone with my thoughts. I was looking all around, listening and watching a beach futbol game go on and I was grateful for my life. I realized that LIFE IS GOOD. Life doesn't consist of how good your shower is that day. If I have to take 100 more pool showers I will still be happy and grateful for what I have. I am fortunate to be able to watch the sunset on the beach. I am fortunate to have a pool to shower in. I am fortunate to have clean drinking water.
Seek out the sunset. Its a magical thing. Be with your thoughts and be grateful for what you have.
PURA VIDA.
