Saint Barthelemy



OMG!! Photos of this place just came up on my laptop screen and I have to go there!! It truly looks amazing!! It is definitely a bucket list item! I'm including some photos, so you can see why I am mesmorized by this place.

I just posted a blog about walking and how I love to walk along the beach. Oh I would so love to walk along the beaches at Saint Bathelemy! The water looks crystal clear and the sand so yellow! And the scenery around the beaches looks amazing to walk around as well!! Oh please take me there right now!

I obviously had to Google it once I seen a photo of the place and now I have learned some new things for the day. (My Grandmother taught me that if I was still learning new things every day that my brain is still working.) Anyway, I now know that it is in the Caribbean and is under French rule. I also know now that the capital is Gustavia and that they speak mainly French and most of the cuisine and culture is French. Oh, now I really want to go there!! Although I don't think I could try frogs legs. Yucky! The questions that run through my head when I think of eating frogs legs. Maybe that can be another blog post! LOL I also know that the temperatures there are actually quite cold to what I am used to. I am used to 45 degrees celcius (so that is 113 in fahrenheit. Yeah, that's what I call hot! LOL). I might need to take a cardigan if I go there. HA-HA!

I also obviously looked at the resort photos that were showing up in the Google search and oh my! It all looks like it has my name written all over it!! I seen a photo of a pool that had the ocean coming into it. How cool would that be?! Look I'm in a pool, now I'm in the ocean and I didn't even have to get out of the pool! HA-HA! I could see myself waking up and looking out and seeing those beaches everyday. That would almost be heaven on earth, if you ask me. Oh and can I have a butler and a maid and a chef?! LOL Living the rich life in St. Barts, I could do that!

I also looked at the animals and marine life that they have there. Firstly, the ghost crabs looks so cute and even though I get scared of things like that touching me, I think I could hold one, just to have a photo taken. They also have a large amount of leatherback turtles and instead of having a shell, they actually have a leather skin instead. That was cool to learn! They also have birds called a belted kingfisher. They remind me of a Kookaburra. Kookaburras are natives here. I'm including a photo of each, if you think they look alike, let me know or am I just seeing stuff that others don't?! HA-HA!

So I think I have found what I would call 'heaven', this is definitely somewhere I could retire to and live happily ever after. If you could travel to one destination only, where would you travel to and why?

Two Word Check-In - Kmart Journal Entry

Check in with yourself using just two words. How are you doing today? Do it three times throughout the day, and use the space to illustrate your words to reflect the mood. Morning Motivated, Positive Midday Emotional, Blessed Evening Cranky, Pain  Isn't it amazing how by the end of your day, it can be turned around 180 degrees!! So this morning I was motivated and feeling really positive. By the end of today, I am cranky and in so much pain that I am almost about to lose my s**t! But I actually sat down and wrote in my journal for a few hours to try and get some of the frustrations out that I have and it actually felt good to write it all down. Cleansing in a way, I guess. I am trying to learn to write it down and once I have written it down, I am trying to learn to let it go. Yeah, just like Elsa sang! Ha-Ha! So maybe I need to write in there a bit more tonight, to try and get rid of some more frustrations.  I feel like I had a very productive day and now I am in...

Observe Nature - Kmart Journal Entry

When did you last see the sunset or sunrise? When did you last go for a bushwalk? When did you last swim in the ocean? Describe these times. What's your favourite place in nature - why? Great questions Kmart Journal! Ha-Ha!  The last time that I watched a sunset or sunrise was the about three mornings when I woke up at 4:40am (not sleeping the best at the moment) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did get to see the sunrise. It was also very peaceful and I find that now that I am waking up a bit earlier, that I am more productive with my day, especially in the mornings. I am going to try and start to get up earlier. I have always been a bit of a night owl, therefore I find it hard to get to bed early and end up sleeping in later.  I haven't been on a bush walk for quite some time, but I do try to walk my dog every day and I get to walk to the waterfront whenever I want!  I am not that fond of creepy crawlies, so I don't like to do many bush walks in case I see a creep...

Jealousy Is A Curse

Why is it that people get jealous? What causes us as humans to be jealous? I decided to look up the definition of jealousy and this is what dictionary.com states: noun, plural jeal·ous·ies for 4. jealous resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, etc., or against another's success or advantage itself. mental uneasiness from suspicion or fear of rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or aims.vigilance in maintaining or guarding something. a jealous feeling, disposition, state, or mood. I, myself know that I have been jealous before, but I am learning that I don't need to be jealous of anyone. Just because others are more well off than me, doesn't mean that they are actually more better off mentally or spiritually. You don't need money and all the expensive crap to be happy. You create your own happiness from within. Material objects will never make someone truly happy, so why be jealous of those that do have all those material objects. I would...
