Riding Into The Sunset

Sunset Abstract
I've wondered what I was going to write about all week. 

We finished our island adventure, and that's all I've been able to think about all week. 

All I've been able to think about was what was behind me. I haven't been thinking about is what's ahead. 

That's what it must be like for that cowpoke ridin' off into the sunset.

You know, where the good guy's killed the bad guy, everybody loves him, he tips his hat to the townsfolk, kisses the girl he'll never have, points his trusty steed into the setting sun and rides off. 

What does that mean? 

Is the story over? 
Is his life over? 
Are the good times all gone?  

HELL NO! 
All it means is that bronco bustin', gun-slinging, whiskey-soaked badass is at the end of one adventure and fixin' to take on another. It may be the end of the movie. It may even be the end of that particular story, but it's not the end of life.

"The Island" was an adventure. There were good times and not so good times. 

There are lots of things I loved about living on an island: 
  • Gorgeous sunsets - check
  • Sugar-soft sandy beaches - check
  • Bathtub warm turquoise water - check
  • Rum cheaper than mixers - check
  • Friends coming to visit - check
  • Boat rides and painkillers - check

There were lots of things I won't miss:
  • Being the bug disposal chief - check
  • Taking out a mortgage shopping for food - check
  • Inconsiderate party animal neighbors - check
  • Customer no-service - check
  • Being asked if I need a taxi every two minutes in town - check
  • Sleep destroying free-range roosters that crow all night long - check

It was a marvelous adventure, but now it's time to move on. 

If you read here, you'll always be up on the next adventure. I won't be sitting on the couch watching life rocket past. 

I'll be out there living it and maybe even telling you about it. 

I look forward to continuing to see you every week. There's lots more to come. 

Until next week, I wish you peace.
