Mayday...it is the first day of May and I just got back into town from my birthday weekend in Wilmington with the people I love. On the way back I heard, "What I want is what I've not got, and what I need is all around me..." So true. There are always going to be things to want that create the urge to need them, but what you need is already surrounding you. Eye opener right there. I love the idea of that but often forget that everything I need is already here. Right now I am in Starbucks and my computer, book, and coffee is right beside me because I need to study for my exam tomorrow. (If you are deciding between the Pike and Italian coffee at Starbucks, I recommend the Italian. It seems a bit smoother to me.) Fill in on weekend to come...
Hard to believe, but I did not go to the beach while I was in Wilmington, but all I needed was already around me. So we did the backyard laying out with Pina Coladas in hand. I have an exam today, but I am looking forward to a yummy Salmon dinner with asparagus tonight. Of course this is in between studying for my finance test tomorrow, but is something to look forward to today. And tomorrow will be my last exam for the semester. Then back on the painting wagon and looking for someone that would like to move into my apartment so that I can work at NOFO this summer and help out with my sister's wedding that will be held at the City Club in Wilmington at the end of July. It is just going to be beautiful. The bachelorette weekend is now in the works! So if there are bach weekend success stories shoot them my way for some ideas.

"What I want is what I've not got, and what I need is all around me..." such a true insight that's meaning is forgotten by so many people... it really makes you want to slow down, take everything in, and enjoy the life you've been given...
