I am so excited, I am about to bust.
You guys, I have been kind of hiding a really big secret for over a month now and I am ready to reveal it. Here it goes:
If you are reading this blog right now, I am more than likely boarding a plan to Cancún, Mexico for my birthday. Actually, it’s not really for my birthday (10/6), but the trip falls on my birthday week and I will take that.
In August, one of my friends informed me that her travel agent friend has invited her to another trip and she could bring someone. And she wanted to know if I was interested. Heck yes! (that was not my initial response.)
My first response was apprehensiveness because as she wrote in the text “I know money is a little tight right now,” and that was the absolute truth. I didn’t even have a job at the time and the thought of spending money on a trip not knowing when I would get a job, was scary. But then I thought about The Happiness Project and how Gretchen Rubin resolved to “spend out” meaning, she would spend a little more money on things that really made her happy instead of fretting about the cost. I know a little thing about fretting and the thing is, when you are so concerned about the cost, you often times limit yourself from really enjoying life and having fun. And I’ve done that and it hasn’t made me any happier. So, I decided to do something differently.
I also thought about The Secret and the teachings of thinking abundantly. No, I didn’t have a job, but I believed that I would get one. And guess what, I did.
I have been looking forward to this trip and I can not believe that it is finally here. Though it’s not all fun in the sun because the travel agent is actually there for work, but I mean, it’s freaking Mexico in October. I never thought I would be going and now that I am, please believe that I am going to make the most of it.
I hope you guys will come back soon to learn more about my trip. Have a great day!
