Another beautiful day in Paradise....
It's just all so different.
The people.
The air.
The culture.
The environment.
The breathing.
Everything.
Each day brings on new adventures.
New towns to see.
New people to meet.
To say "let me stay here forever" sounds perfect, sounds magical, sounds like a dream but....
Tap into reality.
I want to bring home my adventures and my experiences and learn to admire my realistic life and love what I have using my positive experiences to guide me.
My excursions are endless.
This trip has been perfection.
The itinerary has been golden.
I want my opportunities to be endless.
My daily itineraries to be perfection.
And my life to be golden.
And it is I who can make this possible.
And so I vouch to use all my effort to make this a possibility.
My adventures as my guide.
My holiday happiness memories shall be my go to smiling moments.
And when life feels down, as it always will....
Find an up.
There's always an up.
And as I sit here, at my very ultimate up, I'm thankful for this experience. And when the up begins to dwindle I will try to tap right in to this very up and remember why I was thankful.
Downs to ups.
It's all about flipping it around.
And so I will.
Or at least I will try.
Don't let dreams just be dreams.

#happiest5k
The first rule we were given at the start line of the Color Run was...
"Don't stop smiling"
And it was just that simple.. Try as you might, you just couldn't stop smiling.
So much happiness.
Truly the #happiest5k
We ran
We walked
We paced ourselves
We yelled
We sang
We danced
We rolled in paint
We sweated
We sweated a lot
A very lot
The only way to truly describe it is to experience it.
I can not put into words the feeling of heat and sweat and aching legs.
I can not put into words the feeling of happiness surrounded by happiness.
I can not put into words the feeling of an endless amount of energy.
And I definitely can't put into words the feeling of being so obscenely dirty yet feeling so fresh.
But I could try to put into words the feeling of a smile.
A smile, that according to the rules, had to be there.
Rules are rules!
And so we stood there, in the crowd of what felt like millions of people.
Each with their packet filled with colorful chalk.
And on stage were the DJ's with more energy than I can describe.
And then there was a countdown of 3,2,1 and suddenly all your senses come into action...
Seeing clouds of colored smoke
Feeling sprays of water from the onstage water guns
Hearing muffled voices and music
Tasting powdery colors on your tongue
Touching the happiness
It was all just smiles
They can't be described but they can be felt in a rainbow of colors.
"Don't stop smiling"
