Okay so yeah its been awhile since I’ve posted, and even moreso, the last post was from my elusive brother in Florida who hacked into my account! It’s okay, precious, Jesus still loves you. I hate your guts, but Jesus loves you. hahaha, just kidding! Okay now its sounding more like a MySpace comment than a blog. And……stop.
Anywho, it has been some time since I’ve been on here, and deliberately so. I’ve been on vacation for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve wanted to abstain from it to just clear my mind, and I’ve done just that – and you know what – it feels great! I havent had some good time off for myself i quite some time, and this time I ventured to the East Coast to REALLY get away from it all. I visited my brotha form anotha motha, Tomas, who I’ve written about before. We hadn’t known much about eachother, but I got a chance to get to know him and realized how odd it is that we are almost alike – except for the peacock thing where I’ll let him indulge in. : P But he truly is great friend and servant of God, and it was just great to hang out with someone that is just as quirky and nutty as me – though not as cool. That is so funny. No seriously. That is so funny. But yes, it was great to visit his church, Calvary Christian Center, and his friends are awesome. He is truly Florida’s cool factor – undisputedly so.
I’m now here in Rhode Island spending Thanksgiving an my birthday with my older sister Tia and her fiancee Jaime, both of which are stationed up here in the northeast in the Coast Guard. It’s definitely a different atmosphere, as I’ve never really had a winter, really. As many times as I’ve gone up to Alaska on the ship, I’ve only gone during the summers, when it was nice and green. I’ve frankly been freezing my bum up here, and the first few days found me shopping for winter clothing – something I’ve never done before. But I’m having fun just being with family again and checking out the Northeast. I am actually ready to go back to work, pretty much because I feel I’m rejuvenating myself up here. I didn’t think I needed a vacation, but I was wrong.
Take a time out from life when you can. You don’t have to come clear across the country, but just take time for yourself. I promise you, it will be worth your while. Thank you, God, for this vacation. You knew I needed it, and I’m so glad you made it happen. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
