Sharing the beauty !

Hello friends. I know, it's been several days. But you know what they say down here.....I'm on island time or I'm on Keys time. Yeah, the days kind of roll right into one another and sometimes forget what day it is. I haven't done anything too exciting yet, but am really enjoying living life down here. I'm not a big fan of going on vacation with 5,000 other people, such as going on a cruise. Been there and done that, probably will do it again. However, there's nothing like having plenty of your own space to kick back and relax, without bumping into others. I like having my own vehicle with me and I enjoy being able to stay in touch with the world.

However, it's not quite as special as it could be, since I am currently alone down here. I'm looking forward to sharing the experience with the people I love. Now I'm not saying you can't enjoy life while you are alone. I can speak from experience, as I am a very private person to begin with and I lived life alone for about 13 years. I am a better person for having done that. You learn alot about yourself and learn to be strong by yourself. I learned basic life skills so that I will never burden others by being needy or weak. You can't be a positive force in other peoples life, until you yourself become a strong, self-sufficient individual. So in that respect, that time period was incredibly important for me. Life was very enjoyable for that period of my life. But it was like enjoying a very tasty sauce that was missing a certain ingredient to really make it pop. Luckily, I found the missing ingredient in my life, which was Maria. I'm extremely fortunate to have her in my life to share all the beauty and joys life has to offer.

So even though I'm alone down here for a bit, I will still be able to take in all the beauty the Keys have to offer. And when my loved ones join me down here, the sights, sounds and smells will have that extra pop for my senses. The finer things in life are always to be treasured, but are best when they can be shared.
