In search of a Lazy Sunday

The Top Five Regrets of the Dying

(1) I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
(2) I wish I didn’t work so hard.
(3) I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
(4) I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
(5) I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Lazy Sunday morning. After breakfast lying in dark cool hotel bedroom This is no different from sitting under a tree… the end result can be the same.

I logged into an online ‘Sit-and-Share’ meeting which was nice to connect with everyone.

I took a short walk to Crespo (airport neighborhood) looking to go to Cartagena old town . The problem was that you can’t pay on the bus, you need a transport card topped up with enough money for your journey. Despite asking, I couldn’t find where to buy a ticket. Some things are not meant to be.

I had a early dinner of steak and fries + soda. Very casual and laid back.

Back at the hotel I sat on the terrace watching planes take off.

My day ended with the ordinary and the mundane, doing laundry and packing for the onward journey tomorrow.

When I drop my wants and don’t-wants, my likes and dislikes, and my preferences and aversions… there’s a contentedness. I might not be happy but I am not unhappy.

Good night.
