365 Reasons I Love Costa Rica
Reason #365: Nuevo Comienzo
Sometimes things just won’t start looking up until you start looking up. I am now securely moved into my new home and working out of my humble little store where we sell indigenous arts and crafts from various Costa Rican tribes. The new scaled-down version of my life fits sort of well. I always thought it was important to think big and be big, a very “American” view of success. But what really matters is not how “big” you are, but how large an impact you can have. And you can’t have much of an impact if you are always drowning in bills that flow like a river from the “cuenca” of your attempts to be bigger than you really need to be. This blog has brought me full circle in terms of my thinking and being. In the course of writing it I have harbored big dreams and visions. Dreams of being that “go-to guy” for anyone out there interested in Costa Rica. Well I am that guy, but just in a quieter, humbler and less stressful way. I hope my love of Costa Rica has shown through these posts. I mean, I hope my writing has in some ways lived up to the title. I love where I live, love what I do and love writing with the hope that someone out there will get either a laugh, a message of encouragement, or a hint of what it is like to live in Costa Rica. My plan is to keep writing. The title of this 365th post is “Nuevo Comienzo” and that is exactly what it brings me to, both in terms of my writing and living here in this tiny little spec of paradise I call home. Of course, bright and early tomorrow expect Reason #1 all over again.
Pura Vida and thanks for reading me.
