This weekend was perfect. I am settled into my cozy, little apartment in Costa Rica. Yesterday, I had a relaxing morning, watched TV, made breakfast, snuggled my dog. I went to the farmer's market in Quepos and bought some delicious (and cheap!) fresh produce. I treated myself to pizza and a Coke. I planned for my after-school program and saw some of my kiddos. I stared out at the ocean. I Skyped with Alex. I made peanut butter cookies (healthy AND no-bake!). I learned how to make guacamole and margaritas with my co-teacher. After a few VERY rough weeks of homesickness and host family problems, I feel SO truly content and even more so because I am simply so RELIEVED that I am feeling that way again :-). If that makes any sense. I live in a beautiful country. I have a job I love and basically got to create and design for myself. I have a life full of loving, lovable people both here and at home. I have my own, beautiful little space. I have the three keys of happiness, if you will - something to do, people to love, things to hope for.
