I am so tired and trying to stay awake. I used to do better with jet lag. I guess I am out of practice, which is a very good thing. I am lying on my bed with my laptop and looking at the water. It's a beautiful sight. Duffy is singing Serious. I've been listening to music a lot so far on this trip. I could just hit the pillow again but need to stay awake until 9 pm. I wanted some food but the restaurant told me they open at 7 pm. I was tempted to eat a power bar but that's so silly.
Ok ... food is on it way ... hopefully it comes soon since I am starving!
I am reading a blog entry in Ode Magazine called Are You Happy? The premise is that most of us can answer almost any question about ourselves apart from whether we are truly happy. What is interesting is that studies have found that happiness is lower in the most developed countries. The US came in at #23 as having the happiest people. What it shows is that wealth does not determine happiness. Something I've always knows. I believe every single person has their challenges and have never envied anyone because I know they have their own issues. To be honest, I have wanted a smaller nose but I know that won't bring me any more happiness :-) I like this quote from the article:‘Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it the more it eludes you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it comes and softly sits on your shoulder.’
Amen.
I am ignoring the noise in the system because someone's bark doesn't matter any more.
Time to crash.
