Every time I travel and meet or see someone interesting I always wonder what their story is, where they are coming from and where they are going.
In my seat on the plan ride from Trinidad to Barbados I looked across the aisle and saw this very artsy,bohemian looking woman reading a book. So as customary I wondered what her story was, then I looked at the title of the book, "The Next Thing on My List" and immediately felt that I not only understood but I wanted to share in the process of crossing off my next thing.
I pulled out my list and right under 'Land a Wicked Internship' sat 'Begin to LiveLife in The Moment'. Ironically enough i think it was that instant that I was really experiencing a genuine "moment" in my life. I realized my mind was at ease I was not sweating over details of CONCEPTION, anxious about a paper due or an upcoming exam, I didn't think about washing the dishes or cleaning my room. No at that moment I thought about me, the seat I rested in and the pillow nestled behind my neck. Finally, I smiled to myself, got out my pen crossed it off and looked for The Next Thing on My list.

HI ANIQUE! sorry it took so long for me to get in touch with you - i've been finishing off a school placement in Toronto and have been really stressed out..BUT I'm happy to say i'm finally in HK. This 'next thing on my list' blog entry really made my mind stop for a second (i had a 'moment' also? lol) - it is 6:12am here in HK, i'm sitting around killing time before I have to meet with my supervisor at 10am. I can't remember the last time I had time to sit around and just 'live in the moment'... :)
Anyway your pictures are gorgeous! i'll be snooping on your blog for updates on your antics! ciao for now, ms bajan intern!
