This morning I braved the cold and damp to see something I see too seldom.
Two hundred meters or so from my hotel is a nice little beach, somewhat removed from the major commercial ones.
My only company was the occasional passing jogger and my over-active thoughts.
It was rather peaceful, but I was glad to get back to the warm hotel room and the three-course breakfast that awaited me.
It's not so bad, I suppose.
Beautiful! Told you it would be good for you!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not sure about that... I'm not convinced I should be allowed to be alone with my thoughts right now.
ReplyDeleteBut that's another blog...
Having been worked to the bone like Picto and I of late I think you should really appreciate this opportunity. You might not like the beach etc, but remember there are many souls out there that would kill to be where you are right now (myself included here)! Make the best of it and appreciate EVERYTHING you get in life!
ReplyDeleteThis isn't exactly a holiday... I'm working longer hours here than I would at home, and I don't even get to sleep in my own bed afterwards.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some day I'll come here on holiday, but this time around is no pleasure trip.
Fair enough, but what I'm trying to say is that even though you might not feel happy about being there and would rather be home, you would probably feel a lot better if you embraced this as a change of scenery. No, you might not have wanted it, but it doesn't seem like you had much of a choice anyway. The picture above is so beautiful and its things like that that should make people appreciate their circumstances – that even though they feel crappy about their current state, there are still beautiful and amazing things around. You will probably have learnt something from this, even if it is not to stay in the same hotel, or to avoid beaches – even these are benefits, an addition to your experience in life. Stay positive!
