Ass in the sand
Not a worry on my mind
A cold beer in my hand
Life is good today.”

I keep watching my friend posting photos and “where I’m drinking beer right now” status updates from Key West and even though I only live a couple hours north, I’m so jealous. 🙂

It’s been a challenging week here. And it’s not even half-over. Chaos all around. I gave notice at an assignment I love but think it’s best to give up. Then I got a note that another job can’t afford to pay me right now.

I feel good though. I’ll live. Really, by the time you endure all of life’s little surprises, you can take the next round of them in stride. Just as long as I don’t regret any of my decisions, things will be fine.

Don’t think I’m taking the easy way out. I’m going for the “less money but working harder” route. And if, waiting at the end, is a lovely Key Lime Freeze like the one pictured at my favorite stop in Mallory Square? That’s all the motivation I need.
