“Sometimes you have to go away to remember what you already know”
It was 6:00 in the morning and still dark. I was writing on the balcony in candle light…
Its warm and tropical already. The wave sounds are something I could live with all the time. I felt like I was one of the only people awake in the world.
In LA it would be rush hour.
I took my last early morning walk on the beach. I watched the lights go out and the sun come up over the water, a phenomenon unknown to me growing up on the west coast. I realize I have NEVER watched an entire sunrise. It’s amazing.
It took me a while to really wind down and get off the clock- discover my own rhythms. I still got up with the sun. This is the first real vacation I’ve been on in…I can’t remember. It took a lot to get me here and I didn’t want to leave. I’m not suddenly a different person, even there I liked having a plan, even if its “lets go on a sunset cruise tonight.” But the world will not fall apart if I spend a little more time with the friends I love, take a nap in the afternoon, or have a mimosa in bed on a Sunday morning with David, really ask for help AND accept it from people who love me, and absolutely, positively commit to being back next year if not sooner.
David and I had an amazing time!
Cabo San Lucas is an incredibly beautiful place on the planet with a rich history. We met and talked to an incredible variety of people so easily;people from different countries,Xpats, even some teapartyers(is that a word?) - something that isn’t as likely to happen in line at the post office at home. There’s something about being out of your element that just seems to open people up. It’s delightful -
Hard to leave…
