Life happens,
regardless of our plans.
Just sometimes, though,
our plans might be pointing us the wrong way.
We can be so stuck on one way,
that we miss out on something better.
Since moving to Belize,
I've tried to keep an open mind and be flexible.
Recently, though, I set my heart on something.
I had the opportunity to visit Cayo, another district of Belize.
Since I haven't been able to find a permanent living situation here in Independence,
I decided to check there.
Success!
The first place I looked at was great,
and I knew I would feel comfortable there.
There were a few inconveniences,
but I had set my heart on moving in.
I continued looking at other places,
but that just made me more sure.
Just a few days later,
I got in contact with the woman,
and then it happened -
Disappointment.
Last minute, her parents decided they're going to come visit for 6 months,
and they'll need that room.
For the first time since I arrived,
I was thrown for a loop.
And then I crash landed.
Considering that this was my first really stressful moment,
that's actually not too bad.
With the help of amazing friends,
I quickly figured out a new plan.
Upon further consideration, I began to see that it might actually be better.
I've since moved to Cayo,
but into a small studio apartment.
Basic internet is included (which the first place didn't have),
and I'm in the same building as some very good friends.
There is a large veranda area with an amazing view,
and I can see that this was a good choice -
even if it wasn't my original one.
