Rain at the beach! As 6 often says life is a beach! We often
times complain when things don’t go our way, but did you know that, things are
always going your way, one just needs to accept what has been given and make
each obstacle an opportunity to succeed.
For one thing we are all creatures of habit, be it at home
or on vacation. That in itself is really scary if you think about it. Pick a
day be it a day we are all on vacation or just a normal workday. IF you really
give it some serious thought you will find that you do the same things each
day, now 6 will give you that the events of the day change, but you do follow
the same old thing. IS this bad? That is up for you to decide. Since this is a
Kiawah blog, 6 will focus on the week in paradise. Take any day “Tuesday” Get
up at 6:15, go to the beach, walk to the local coffee shop, get myself a cup of
coffee, and continue my walk. Get back to the condo at about 7:30, jump on the
bike, take a ride, back to the condo at 9:00, Go to the sleep late condo, get
another cup of coffee, watch Josh’s weather forecast, watch some Hoda and Cathy
Lee. Now at this point one might think that there is a departure from routine,
for example, if Josh has called for rain, 6 might get a cup of coffee to go, or
if it is going to be nice 6 will fill up the recycled water bottle with water
and Jack, but in either case, 6 will head back to the condo and get ready for
the beach. Go to the beach about 11:00 sit in the sun, or sit in the rain, who
cares, 6 is on the beach. A day of rain is nice because there is no one on the
beach to bother him other than the chair guy. Go eat some lunch, and back to
the beach, at 4:15 go back to the condo and get some wine, then back to the
beach, drink wine eat cheese and watch the umbrella guy take our chair and
umbrella, back to the condo for dinner, eat dinner drink some Rex, then back to
the beach! Start over on Wed. Now tell me that each of you could not do the
same thing and be about 90% accurate! That is life! Yes there is always
obstacles, for example, when it rain, 6 will not drink Jack but stick with the
coffee, or 6 may not even go into the ocean if it is a rainy day, for there is
no need he is wet from the rain. Or god forbid we might be out of Rex, ^ might
have to run to the store and buy a few bottles. Or there might be an
infestation of Jelly fish, 6 might go out and get stung, but he might just sit
back and enjoy others getting bitten, or the coffee shop might be out of
coffee, that has never happened so not sure what 6 would do, but 6 is sure that
it would not change his outlook on life. When things change one has to adapt to
that change, it is actually easy, if you really want to succeed.
Words of wisdom: Rain, nor snow nor sleet or hail will stop
you from achieving your goals, if one only accepts change as an opportunity to
grow.
