the joy of melting.

Things to do before your heart seizes from the dulling frustration of a desk job…

1. Visit a sunny fishing village in Mexico in the middle of December.
2. Do not make plans of any sort.
3. Get by on only the Spanish you know or can pick up… throw your other languages away. (they are not necessary and only confuse things)
4. If you can, have 15-20 baby sea turtles hatch under your sun chair while you are lying on the beach. They are so cute and you meet so many people that come up to look.
5. Eat cactus and other fruits, vegetables, and meats you have never before eaten. (you will find them to be good, and perhaps you will gain a healthy cactus addiction)
6. Close your eyes.
7. Breathe.
8. Be thankful.
