Chatting On The Plane, Or, Be Happy With What You Have

Recently I heard two guys chatting on an airplane.
Sitting directly behind me, I learned much about their lives. Both were probably younger than me. Both had a laundry list of possessions, as well as good jobs and other things.

EXAMPLE: "I visited Cape Town recently."
"I live in LA."
"My wife sees nothing but the ocean on her drive to work."
"I'm having a destination wedding."
"I visit Hawaii regularly."
"I just bought a new house in San Antonio."

I was surprised to find at the end that I wasn't really jealous. While possessions are great, I'm not sure if these two giddy co-passengers have lost sight of what's important.
I guess I wasn't jealous because I feel glad to be grateful for what I have, while still working toward the future.

The point: Be grateful for what you have NOW. Do not put all of your energy solely into possessions.

THE END.

It is Day 18 of the Blogathon.

Enlightening Baristas At Starbucks. And To La Toya: Where Will I Get All My Advice Now?

Dear All,
While at Starbucks recently, I overheard a man saying to the female barista while waiting for his drink, "I was in Cancun," then, "in Mexico."
Then he said, "they have Starbucks there, too." The man was probably in his mid-30s, and I think with a shaved head.
Then after brief chit-chat, he said, "Ok, B'bye."

I think he thought he was enlightening the barista. (I was sitting at a table nearby). I don't know the facts, but she did not appear to be dumb.
When I say enlightening her, it is as in: REALLY? Cancun is in MEXICO? And, wow, they have ACTUAL Starbucks locations in other countries?

New Topic: I watched a brief segment of Celebrity Apprentice.
I have never been too into this show.

Except when the actual "The Apprentice" began, I thought it was interesting.

God only knows why I watched Celebrity Apprentice. However, I did see La Toya Jackson, and later pondered, why is La Toya on Celebrity Apprentice? What happened to the psychic hotline?

The End.
