Mommy’s home. She got in late last night. She is too exhausted to
tell me anything except that she thinks sometimes my blog is too
negative. Sometimes I think so, too. Especially lately. And it ain’t
over yet. There is good to report, too, and I’ll get back to that.
I’m not a trained writer so I have to write whatever is burning to
come out at that moment. And the blog is my experience which is colored
by my current mood, the heat, my level of stress, how much money I have
at the moment, whether my BHRT is kicking in… so you have to take what I say with a grain of salt. Or a kilo. Sometimes a truckload.
I realize a LOT of people who might like to move to Costa Rica
someday look here for information. But I can’t write with that in
mind. It’s still my journal, one expat’s experience. Besides, if this only told
the pretty side, how valuable would that be?
Despite any negatives, I have no intention of leaving. All places
have negatives. So far, my choice is still here. Overwhelmingly.
Despite my recent lessons on crime…
I have been told I am negative, too. It affected my blogging initially and then I realized, this is just how it is. Sometimes things do fall short of our expectations. Costa Rica ain’t all you think from reading the sugar coated books. The REAL Costa Rica has many twist and turns that aren’t so positive. The only really positive foreigners here are usually the ones trying to sell you something (i.e. real estate). The rest of us tell it like it is.
You go girl. It’s YOUR blog. I love reading it. Good or bad reviews. Tell mom hi for me and you’re postively reporting a negative event.
Thanks, Teri. I’m a-goin….
Reading your honest and human responses to daily living is a real breath of fresh air. See – even when you’re negative, it’s really positive 😉
I’m going to make mom read your comment! thanks, arp!
