I was in Miami from Friday and I just got back today, Memorial Day 2013!
Due to lack of posting abilities, I was unable to update ya'll on my Meaningful Action of the Day (MAD) and my Realization Of the Day (ROD).
I jotted them down and I bring them to you today!
FRIDAY (05/24)
MAD:
Flying to Miami with friends!

ROD:
It's all in your attitude. It was quite the trek to get to the airport. It was my first attempt at taking public transportation to La Guardia airport. It should have only taken an hour, but because of the mix of rain and Memorial Day Weekend it took me a little over 2 hours. I wasn't sure if I was going to make my flight!
It was rainy. I had no umbrella. There was ridiculous amounts of traffic. The bus was crowded. I met a man from Tennessee. His flight was cancelled the day before and he was hoping to get on a flight today. Now, he had a great attitude! He was a chatter box and told us all sorts of stories about his experiences in New York. He kept smiling and continued to chit chat with all of us around him. He said, "New Yorkers are nice! And sure I met a few crazies, but they are everywhere'...yehahaha, so true!
SATURDAY (05/25)
MAD:
Swimming in the ocean.

ROD:
Time outs are okay. Work isn't the only thing that should give value and meaning to my life. Sure, yes yes I know what matters is friends and family. The connections that you build with people. The experiences you have and share with others. Sometimes, you lose sight of that. I lose sight of that all the time. I have to remind myself that my value is not based on that pay check that arrives every 2 weeks. What I liked most about my previous job was the people I met. Definitely met some inspiring people who are really taking charge!
SUNDAY (05/26)
MAD:
Eating Haitian food! The restaurant was painted with all sorts of murals and art! It was festive!!!

ROD:
Places can transport you. What I mean by that is that a place and space can transport you to a whole level of feeling. Ok, that sounds bizarre also...Hmm, basically, I can walk around somewhere and know that I am in Miami, but at the same time feel like I am in Nice or the Philippines. There were small resemblances, but it really elevated me to feel like I was truly on vacation. That I was on some island or some far destination. Yet, I was still in the States! This just made me realize how much more of the States that I do need to visit. Maine! New Mexico! Colorado! MUST GO!
MONDAY (05/27)
MAD:
Taking a nap. When your body is tired, embrace it! AND SLEEP!!!!
ROD:
I need to stop eating just to eat. And, I need to buy more kale. I made a lot of kale chips today. It was because I am stressed prepping for an interview tomorrow. When I am stressed, I want to eat. I don't buy snacks because I would end up eating the whole bag. I did have kale though. And I made those into chips! yehahah a healthier alternative. Still, must learn self control!! Will work on that.
