This weekend was quite busy with a lot of tourists coming to my town to visit for the day.
It’s nice seeing families with kids walking hand in hand, it just gives me a sense of happiness when I see them happy.
We have a lot of people watching us play volleyball along the boardwalk which makes the games even more exciting. I can sometimes hear them cheering and yelling during our heated matches that include a lot of trick shots and crazy plays. I’m always the entertainer looking for an audience to perform to. I have so much more free time now than before when I was running my plumbing repair service back in the states. I also was a roofing contractor but I stopped doing that job when I almost shot a roofing nail through my knee with one of the roofing guns. It was much easier doing leak repairs and new plumbing installations than being on a very hot roof in the summer or up in an attic trying to fix an air handler water leak. Summers in the south are hot, but summers in an attic in the south are like a sauna, with no windows. There is a plumbing service near me where I live here overseas and when I see them heading out in the morning for work I just feel a sense of gratitude for the new life I have created and the simplicity of it. I sometimes feel like a bird that has been set free of its cage. It’s a joyful feeling.
