It's almost as though they are trying to "suck" the joy out of the air.

I thought a cruise would be a great thing...to get away and relax...some solitude..but I didn't think of the fact that just as you can't pick your neighbours, you can't choose your ship mates. That must be difficult at times.<BR/>Enjoy your week!Spicyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092460015575995500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-56109422249330338872007-06-12T19:36:00.000-04:002007-06-12T19:36:00.000-04:00I understand totally.When I worked offshore, it wa...I understand totally.<BR/>When I worked offshore, it was a 4- weeks on, 2-weeks off schedule.<BR/>My 2 weeks off was mostly a blur of 18 hours per day drunk.dAAvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378341182741173178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-48395176980784011462007-06-12T18:24:00.000-04:002007-06-12T18:24:00.000-04:00That is one very beautiful photo Syd.

I pretty much have very little alternative but to choose only reasonably serene company. it can seem a bit limiting sometimes, but i don't mind. Of course I make time for people if I think I can be of service in some way, but I limit the time I spend on that too. I couldn't do it all the time. It means I have a very reduced pool of potential friendships to choose from. There are a lot of frustrated and driven people out there. A lot are simply on auto pilot. So it doesn't surprise me that you are glad to be back in your own space. I think your discomfort whilst traveling is a very healthy sign. Anyway, enjoy your home space. Bet the doggys are glad to see you too.An Irish Friend of Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781376087404079818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-54019802696278451612007-06-12T17:19:00.000-04:002007-06-12T17:19:00.000-04:00ahhh home sweet home.
