Day 3: Stella Maris, Long Island

After a rainy morning the sun came out, beaming the blessings. Some people were learning how to scuba dive here, so after the man told me I didn't need to know how to swim to scuba... & I declined, we were off to the next pool. No Scuba Diving for ME.

Me and mum - profiling and semi smiling

Moonshine bar & grill was the most amazing spot...breeze better than A/C

By now you know my mom isn't the best photographer but I love this shot

                                                                                       And this one!

And shortly after this shot, we fell asleep

----------><--------

           Before we got ready for church we stuffed our guts; grouper fingers, fries and a salad

        I should have left a couple of fries on the plate to make it look like I'm not a gubba - but I can't be bothered, I'm a Gubba!

This is St. Mary's Anglican Church in Glintons; lovely service - they said farewell to a much loved priest  

After the service and meeting some of the locals....more exploring. 

And watched the sun set!

My belly needed some <3 so we had some mozzarella sticks

Round 2                                                   with these awesome     daiquiris 

Until next time....

Go for the Championship Ring

Constantly our parents drill into us how education, manners and hard work pay off.  So, you pursue education, you never forget your manners and consistently work hard...only to be passed over, walked on and patronized by "good job" statements issued by the "bosses" that have been granted kisses due to favour.  It doesn't always go that way but it's not a rare anecdote.  I do believe though that all those things my parents taught me are of value and grooms a well rounded individual.

In fact, I do not want to be anyone's favourite. My goal has been to show up for the game, play as hard as I can, shoot and pass when necessary.  It's not always easy but you have to continue to remember yourself, that's what organizations do - they remember profits.  People scoffed at LeBron James' decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers. WAIT - NO THROWING STONES, let me finish.  They called him a traitor and burned his jersey.  What they gained, I'll never know.  James however gained two championships with the Miami Heat.

In my opinion everyone has to make the decisions that are most beneficial to the growth and development of themselves and their family.  In the Bahamas, we tend to be creatures of habit and we love our country and proximity to our family because of the ease it grants us in many areas of life. You know baby sitting cheaper with grammy.  There's nothing wrong with that!  But if you've reached your peak in your career, it's okay to move on.

Why settle?
Loyalty? Of course, but on certain levels without being disloyal to yourself

For the most part companies feel everyone is replaceable. If they feel they can get more money into their pockets, they don't give two flying fairies about you - though they do a good job of making you believe that they do, but you can tell if it's a facade.

Your loyalty is to you and making your situation sound enough for you to remain sane in this sometimes bitter world.  Never be afraid to switch teams, shoot - start your own team, because like LeBron James, you may end up with championship rings.
