Wednesday, 9th of March....
It's funny how we all fall victim to worrying about the small stuff. Maybe, at least in the States, we are all sold a pack of lies. A friend of mine, great girl...native Hawaiin, told me once before I got out here, that the Marshallese are lazy people. My response at the time was ..."they are island people, that for generations grew up with nothing to do but sleep, fish, have sex and sleep....of course they are lazy." She didn't agree with me, being a very hard worker herself. Now a year after that conversation, I wonder if the island people don't have it right, and we in the states toil around "living to work" instead of "working to live". They (the Marshallese for generations) didn't need to spend as much time as someone in a northern climate might have to to survive. They had so much more time not having to prepare for winter. So they sat around and enjoyed life, enjoyed each other, and got really really good at laughing and smiling.
