The drought is over

Wow, its been a month! Spent the first month at the Reilley's (who with 3 kids under5yr old was the best birth control you could ever ask for, waaaaaawaaaawaaaaaaa every 7am), but they opened their house to me and I got back on my feet, nursed my broken heart and a week ago just moved in w/my best girl Kristen at her sick pad (inground pool, yoga room, ridiculous) in Port Royal Plantation-Spanish Moss trees and tranquility abound- except when we blaring Black Eyed Peas at3am-our retired neighbors must just love us! Things are lookin up. Workin at Black Marlin in Palmetto Bay Marina and as far as slingin drinks go, I found a gold mine. A month ago, I didn't even know where my next meal was coming from and now I'm making ridiculous money, it just seriously goes to show you that you have to keep the faith and the almighty $ is just a never ending cycle of come and go. I have had many thoughts of how I do have my degree and yet I make more now waiting tables than at my "career" job in Maui. I don't get the ways of the world sometimes. That just doesn't make sense. I think that I am still so nieve at 32 I just have rose colored glasses on and want everything to be "fair" and right and good in the world and it just isn't.What this past 3 months of ups and downs and breakups with the same man only different forms of him for the past 6 yr has taught me is that life will be up and down and good and bad, that is the journey but its how you react to the circumstances that life throws at you that reveals your true character. I think leaving the Rock has been unbelievably life changing and I thank God every day for the challenges and gifts that have been shown to me since landing on the mainland 4 mths ago. I am growing. My mind is expanding. I am calming down and not being so hard on myself that I'm not where I thought I'd be, but am grateful where I am...Thankful for my friends. My friends=my lifesavers.
