~ PRICELESS ~

My Beautiful Feet
Lately, I've been on a traveling spree and I love it. There's no better therapy than to lay out on a beautiful sunny day. I really think God is trying to open my eyes and show me there is more to life than what I have been living. More to living that just the normal routine of work, working out and kickboxing that I had become so content with. Lately I've had a different mind set. A mind set of live and let live. A mind set of peace. Like I said in one of my earlier post, my life is so peaceful right now, so simple. I am just living and loving life. The life that God has put before me. A life that is priceless. So many people don't get to do some of the things I have been doing lately and I am so grateful, humbled even. I am thankful that God has chosen me to explore his beautiful earth. I cant wait to go on my next adventure....the sky is the limit. Brazil, Thailand, Vegas and Mexico are all within reach. I'm excited for my future and thankful for my past.

I really believe there is more out there for me to do than what I am currently engaged in. I'm not exactly sure what it is yet but I have been looking for jobs in other places, searching for new things to do and to learn. Right now I'm more hungry for life than I've ever been. If you know me you know that I am a very ambitious guy. A guy that is determined. A guy that stands on the principle that talk is cheap, I would rather show you any day than to just talk you to def about it. I see this as Gods way of showing me how to live my life. Taking my experience here on earth to another level.

Pine Knoll Shore
Since I got all of that out of the way back to my weekend. This weekend I got a chance to go to the beach for the second time in two months. One of my good friend and old roommates came home from oversees and offer to treat me to a weekend at his parents time-share. We had a blast like always. Good food, friends and drinks is always a great combination for good times. It felt so good to get away and chill and relax with my friends. We got to do a lot while at the beach. We went to the mall, ran about three miles exercising and touring the time-share and of course laid out on the beach.  

My friends time-share is on Pine Knolls beach. Pine Knolls beach is one of the barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina. It is absolutely beautiful out there. The beaches are something special. The time-share is some what isolated in its location from the main beach area. Perfect for just relaxing and having a good time with friends without having to deal with other families or people that might be vacationing there. I would say we saw a total of 10-12 people on the beach the whole time we were there. And at night absolutely no one is on the beach. Other than chilling on the beach we hung out with some old friends of ours from college. We ended up going to Hooters on Sat. night and watched the UFC fight. We had a blast. Its not to often that you find females that actually enjoy watching sports but we all had a great time.

The females that accompanied us were some friends from college. Some times its good to revisit the past and reflect on people and relationships that have helped shape who you are. I had a great time hanging out with them this weekend and I look forward to hanging out again with them soon. I cant exactly say where this is going but it sure did feel good this weekend to hangout with someone special without any strings attached.

This being single things feels good right now. Not to brag but I'm definitely not worried about finding love. The ratio is definitely in my favor especially since I am open to looking outside of the norm. But to be honest I am not sure that I am ready right now for another relationship. To me being in a relationship doesn't define who I am. I don't need the approval of another person to tell me my worth and I am secure within myself to be by myself for a little while longer. I ended my last relationship thinking that I would become a better person before I entered another relationship and that's exactly what I plan on doing. I want the next person I date to be my wife.

Friends

Anyway......sorry for going off on a rant..lol but the beach this weekend was so peaceful, so relaxing. I almost didn't mind the drive back. Days like this are priceless and its good that I got to spend it with people I love.

Be blessed!

Until the next adventure!
