Eager Anticipation

While teaching English several of my students would share their activities while not at school. I’d actually made it a homework assignment, “have fun on your day off, remember what you did, and share your experience with us when you return to school.” Several of my students shared they went “island hopping.” I had no idea of what they meant and I’m still a bit fuzzy.

However, today I get to do the same thing. I get to go “island hopping.” A new buddy from Australia has rented a boat and several of us are joining him to go island hopping. Not exactly sure what that entails. My only knowledge of the excursion is we leave at 10 a.m. and the excursion will last about six hours.

I must admit, I’m eagerly anticipating this particular excursion. I’ve only done a limited amount of tourist activities since my arrival in November.

Today, Sunday, May 5, 2019, I am grateful that:

I have the opportunity to go island hopping. I’m still willing to experience new things and I’m looking forward to this experience and the opportunity to bond with new people.

My personality is pleasing enough to secure an invite with newly met people. I’m charismatic yet I have a tendency to isolate and I’m grateful I’m willing to expand my circle of influence. There’s a saying “You will earn the average of your 10 closest friends.” I have to change my closest friends in order to fulfill my purpose and I willing to do so, although it’s uncomfortable.

Do Whatever It Takes. Be Impactful!
