You
may have realised by now that I'm the sort of person who can never
sit still. About five years ago I was in a life situation that I
didn't want to be in and after about six months of extremely tedious
umming and ahhing (Ok, I've no idea how to spell that phrase) I took
the plunge to get out of it. As with such things it wasn't as simple
as it sounds, but the end result was me vowing to never get myself
into a situation that I wasn't close to 100% happy with. I've never
had myself psycho-analysed, but I'm pretty sure that this is why I'm
a picky little fecker now.
I
write this from St Lucia. In short, I'd been at home in England for
longer than six weeks and was getting a little twitchy. On Tuesday I
updated my Facebook status to declare to the world that I was getting
a little twitchy and on Wednesday I booked a flight to St Lucia. I
left on Thursday morning.
At
this point I should probably point out that I'm not a gazillionaire.
I'm just fortunate enough to know someone who works for an airline
and can get cheaper flights on short notice. I also have a very
understanding set of bosses who allowed me some time off. I land back
in the UK on Monday morning and will be in the office by 10am.
Oh
yeah, and this also happened. Again...
And
this...
And
once again I appear to have been mutilated by these...
St
Lucia's pretty beautiful. I'm getting used to the whole Caribbean
island thing having not that long ago returned from the Dominican
Republic (note to self: must remember to write about the Dominican
Republic). I'm staying in an all-inclusive resort, which I could
definitely get used to but couldn't do every trip (again, twitchy
feet) but it's ideal for a long weekend away. I'm also painfully
aware of how glamourous that sounds.
I
won't write too much as I'm getting frowned at by my fellow pool
dwellers (I think the sight of a MacBook is making them remember the
real world) and I'm also conscious that my posts are pretty lengthy,
so all I'll say is this... No matter what situation you find yourself
in, make sure it's a happy one. If you can't make it a happy one,
stop being in it and do something else until it is a happy one. And
if we fast-forward 30 years and I'm living in a house with 12 cats
and having conversations with the toaster you can remind me of this,
but that actually sounds pretty awesome.
