There are some things that it seems that "other people" always do, and that you live your life and don't give it much thought. Then today I realized that I have the privelage of being one of those "other people." I got to leave the life that I knew and move to a somewhat exotic place. If I want to take a walk on one of the most famous beaches in the world, I do. If I want to sit and listen to the ocean under the moonlight at 2:00 in the morning, I do.
My purpose here is not to brag or rub it into anyone's face, it's to show how much I appreciate how lucky I am to be free to do these things and to be, if only for a relatively short time, one of those "other people." I know that my time is almost up, and before too long I'm going to be back in the ranks of the workforce, living from paycheck to paycheck again.
