216 Days to Paradise - We're going to the beach

Every night when I climb into bed, I lay there in the dark trying to fall asleep.  It's never been easy for me.  I've always been an insomniac.  (It's in my DNA).  Twenty minutes later and I'm still wide awake.  I just can't turn off my brain.  

But over the last few years I have learned a trick to help me relax.  I play my favorite beach song in my head.



I think about Key West.  The first thing I do is think about laying on the beach, running my fingers through the sands. 


 I love the the sound of the birds flying overhead, the wind in my hair.




 I can hear happy people laughing as their scooters buzz by, honking their horns. 


I can smell the salt in the air carrying the fragrant aromas from the beach restaurants 

Salute' on the Beach

Salute' on the Beach

 
Salute' on the Beach
 and the sounds of steel drums.

Key West Steel Drum Band


the laughter of everyone playing sand volleyball

The whisper of the breeze through the palm trees....


Hear dogs barking in the background


 And roosters crowing in the distance



 Now, go get your swimsuit on, WE'RE GOING TO THE BEACH!


Keep your feet in the sand and reach for the stars...


One Step Forward - One Step Back...

I want to start by saying "Thank You" to all of my wonderful supporters out there.  I wouldn't have the strength, conviction or faith to keep on moving towards my dream if I didn't have you.  Every week I get emails from my blogging family asking how things are going.  But like my momma taught me "If you don't have anything good to day, Don't say nothin' at all".  Sooooooo, I'm not being secretive, I just don't want to bring you down. 

The reality of the situation is this.  The medical bills for my pup Mr. Mooney, and the cost of staying in one place long enough to have is paralysis treated has drained all my funds.  So, NOW I HAVE TO FIND A JOB HERE!

I know, it sucks, it's depressing, it's making me miserable, but he is worth it.  So, I'm plugging away, getting my life in order and still selling my stuff and packing  - EVERY SINGLE DAY!

So, thanks for all the kind words and keep them coming...
