I'm on a Beach... A Tropical Beach... Drinking a Margarita...

WHAT IN THE WORLD, indeed.....

I'm thankful to live in a place where people know how to handle this much snow.

But let's be honest, while the snow is beautiful in its own right, I'm seriously considering a move to a warmer climate where people don't need to know how to handle this much snow.

It's in times like these that I reminisce about my experiences in Thailand. Malaysia. Cambodia. I often picture myself in Railay. The sun is beating down on my face as I kayak through the crystal clear turquoise waters. I'm snorkelling and admiring the electric, vibrant colours of the tropical fish that have completely encircled me, as if requesting my friendship. I'm smelling sweet coconut as people lather themselves up with suntan lotion. I look up in awe at the spectacular, majestic limestone cliffs jutting out in every direction. In the background I hear people laughing and splashing as the waves gently hug the shore. I feel the greatest sense of peace, tranquility, and pure unbridled happiness that I have felt in a long time.

Sometimes, if I really try, I can convince myself that my daydreams are real.
