I caught myself today searching google/blogs for people with the same interests as me. I look for these blogs and check to see just how interesting they are, if those bloggers are living the life I long for.

WHAT?

I've done this before. Searched for folks who live in Key West and post pictures. For women who both teach yoga and work in the journalism field. For not-so-healthy everyday people looking for such a big change that they go totally raw with their diet. For people on a cheap budget who are trying to decorate their house in a tasteful caribbean (or sometimes Cuban) style. Ohhhh, and the one I keep coming back to...blogs with current pictures of Nuevo Progreso. I soooo miss that place.

Last year was just about surviving every day. I didn't have any real plans on what I needed to accomplish with my time. I was afraid to plan with all of the crazy, bad stuff that has dumped itself into my life in the past 22 months. But I do realize that the ONE thing I set up and sort of half way planned was our vacation to FL. I picked the location and that was about it but it was big for me! We spent almost a week in Key West. There are things I do different if we go back, like camping a night on the Dry Tortugas and renting our own little house with a private pool. But in general I loved everything we did and saw while we were there. So much so that my home office is being redone in Olde Key West style with this painting right in the middle of the room...
