I wake up every morning thankful for a new day, thankful that I am alive, I have a beautiful woman by my side, I have a great job, loving parents, great friends, thousands of blogging friends and most of all thankful that I am not French.
However, I have to tell you that yesterday was one of the biggest challenges I have ever faced…………forget guests who want to play Mahjong, forget people who think we shouldn’t have shore excursions featuring animals, forget people who think I am a racist and on fast track to a suite in hell, forget having a plastic pipe shoved up my back door by a large Turkish woman…………yesterday was tougher than dealing with any of them.
The doctor had told me to get some rest……….”Stay in bed and heal,” he said……….. well………..that is easier said than done …..in fact it would be easier to find a Frenchman who knows what soap is.
You see, the only way I can take it easy is to stop working……….don’t be a CD …………….and let the staff run everything………and that’s just something I cannot contemplate.
