The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
Maybe you don't remember the following extract from this entry in November 2007.....Let me refresh your memory, and then read below the extract....
It reminds me about what the young Customs Officer said to me on Friday when I came back from Barbados. He was waiting on the CSME stamp and he says "so what happen to your husband?" I was taken aback because he usually does not strike up a conversation like that. It's usually something like "how are you today". So I tell him that I don't have any, nor do I want any because oonu man is pure stress. He agreed to some extent, but also said the woman could be stress too.
He then asks me if it's because I am not looking. Yes, I reply. Then he said something which took me by surprise. "You must keep an open mind". After we ended the conversation, I asked him where the toilet was. On my way back from using it, he called out to me and said "Remember, keep an open mind!" I promised to.
So I will have No Reservations next time someone asks for my number to get to know me better. Well maybe not on the first meeting. I still want to keep that bit of anal-retentiveness about me!
So have you ever been in a situation where for years you maintained a certain viewpoint, and then out of nowehere, something or someone causes you to do a shift in thinking. Shift in thinking = fun......
