Plan the Trade

happy new year all

Same to you. Hope its packed with blessings.

..and to you - great to see your own journey with the strat, day by day. Hats off to you.

Low "volume" day for me too....last day of the year filled with chilling and nothingness. Planning to stare at mother nature all day, soak in it's glory, ask for strength and forgivenes, experience the raging power She holds beneath her core and allow the mental drain of 2018 to happen... to make room for new adventures and pleasures and joy and happiness and love and care and sharing with fellow human beings. Collectively, we have so much to offer and give back. May the next year be the one that makes real positive change in our lives. May we all look left and right and up and down and seek out for help and offer help to those in need, to those less fortunate than us, to those who still struggle to make ends meet, and separate the want-to-have versus need-to-have. This world of ours is a beautiful place to enjoy it's glory. Let's not fight or go to war over stupid shit.

Edit: I finally crossed off one thing from my bucket list yesterday.... Run naked in rain on the beach during a thunderstorm and feel the power of a raging ocean. There was no soul in sight...even the life guard hit his sack. Beyond invigorating!!!

Edut2: Time to soak up the power of Sun today. Perfect place to integrate and experience all the natural elements of Earth, Sun, Fire, Air, Water, Metal etc. Loving it!!!!

Edit3: forgot to mention the unlimited food and drinks. This place really knows how to entertain their guests. Except for Spa, everything under the Sun is included. This place really tested my will to stay away from Alchohol since 2016. 3 years of dry spell baby! Fuck the AAA meetings. If you cannot help yourself, NO ONE ELSE CAN! I have tried over 40 alchoholic cocktails with no achohol....loving it and living it and showing it...it can be done. I also gave up my favorite fruit Orange which was and still is harder than quiting Alchohol. I grew up surrounded by 100s of acres of Orange farms and I could swallow over 100 oranges in one sitting :-)

And lastly, Spanish women really know how to take care of their bodies :-)

Enjoy every moment to its fullest.

I can say this too guys, because of everyone's insights here (along with hours/months of work and some luck), my little account is up 61% for Dec. Hope to see it steady and climbing in 2019.

hey VEE glad your enjoying all the beautiful things on planet earth but you have to give credit where credit is due that is to the ONE who made it all happy New Year to all

Yep..Life itself is a zero-sum game imo. There is no achievement without tremendous sacrifice and I will leave it at that.

The rain has begun so hoping another round of showing my butt off lol

When it pours, drink mohitos lol

IF your quote "Yep..Life itself is a zero-sum game imo". then there is no purpose and if the only purpose is to eat reproduce and die what separates us from a fruit fly?

Amen to that.

Happy new year from the South of Spain

My daughter just booked her tickets with her friends to go to Barcelona to celebrate her final spring break. Looking for someone to provide some adult supervision lol

wifee is already planning a trip to Iceland in March to check out the northern lights. It’s on her bucket list as we missed it in Alaska few hrs back. Looks like after that it will be graduation ceremony celebration in summer and then China is already a definite possibility in Nov/Dec. I better get some truck load of ticks quickly :-)

Great scene

Nice for a new years day walk. If you zoom in you can just see the coast of Africa, Gibraltar just out of sight on the right. Very privileged to have such beauty close by

Not done Barcelona, but my partner has. Great if you like Art, and very cosmopolitan. Beware of pickpockets though.

Iceland on my list too.

Yeas -pick pockets spoil some areas due to constant fear of losing something. But Spain -in the main, lovely people and great places plus lots of sunshine.

I think crime is more petty here. But when people are on holiday they undergo personality changes. The sun makes them downright stupid, leaving stuff in cars, putting everything in the boot (or trunk) at the same locations they are going to abandon their cars for hours on end.

Walking along in your shorts from the beach with a 10k watch draped around your wrist, and so on.

Malaga?

Marbella

Our new year resolution is to lean the Spanish language this year as we wants to retire in hot weather. I suck as learning languages so we will see what happens :-)

There are some good apps, but Michele Thomas is by far the best. You remember what he's taught, but you can't remember why.

We are all different, but the quality of life out here is second to none. I think it would chill you out
