Contrasting Emotions

Someone I know has been given an opportunity that makes me feel jealous.

This is an emotion I am not all that familiar with. Not even one I experience often.

And a circumstance that although I do not want, its acclaim I do.
This person is not close to me, though we know one another.
Our paths are similar, though different.
I am much more dynamic, engaging and rising.
This person is washing out on many levels.

What bothers me right now, is that I am unsure if I should just

A. march right out and create the same opportunity for myself
OR
B. await my turn, for what is inevitable

In other news. ...I mentioned the other day we were perhaps going to take a holiday to Cuba. Turns out I misspoke.

We are all officially leaving for the Dominican Republic in two weeks. The three of us are taking a family vacation together.

I am super excited. With so many activities around the resort and out-trips easily accessible, we are sure to have a memorable trip.

But a nine hour flight? Eeeww.

Todays it was 32 degrees, I don't mind the plane ride so much now knowing the temperature.


Time to air out the suitcases!
