Happy Anniversary to me!
August marks year 1 of me living the dream by moving to Costa Rica in 2021 at the age of 54.
I burned the boats!
Not going to pretend that it has been all rainbows and butterflies – itโs been a crazy, wild journey.
Often I said Pura f**king Vida!
An endless array of โfirstsโ.
A lot of major life stuff has happened this year back home (to which I did return of course!)
My daughter Michaela and Alexโs wedding (best wedding ever)
My youngest daughterโs boyfriend suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (Bill (and Briana) are doing so well)
Getting a tattoo that reads: โLife is an Adventureโ
and so much moreโฆ.
Hereโs what I learned living in Costa Rica:
patience
a new language
flash lights are more important than food
if you accomplish one task a day – you are a super star
patience – that needed to be said twice!
driving + Costa Rica mountains = weekly near death experiences
it is stupid not to have road side assistance
what true blackness really is
And the most important lesson is thisโฆ
you are never too old to start living the life you dream
and that Life truly is an Adventure
Pura Vida
