The Otter and I

I spent the last two years mostly in fear and dread. This year is different! Even though it started with a debilitating injury, I have come through it with hope and a renewed determination to continue to grow and enjoy the years I have before me.

April is here and my spirit animal is the Otter!
​
Overall, the otter personality type is known for their warmth and sociability. Strengths: Outgoing, optimistic, personable, communicator, dreamer, responsive, warm, friendly, talkative, enthusiastic, compassionate.
I think those are the traits I had shoved into the background in 2024 due to developments beyond my control both personal and societal. Let’s move on says my April Otter self!

I have really grown tired of being dreary. I am only four months into the year and I am already feeling perky and optimistic. 

In 10 days I will join my family in San Pancho for a small vacation. I really look forward to being lazy in the sun watching them frolic in the sea on a lovely expanse of white sandy beach. Evenings will be filled with remarkable food and conversation at my daughter’s beautiful garden airbnb or relaxing with my other daughter on our terrace overlooking the tranquil beach in neighboring Lo de Marcos.

We will begin our trip with an Easter Brunch at the San Pancho Polo Club as we did last year. It is an incredible event with umbrellas and couches along the long Polo field and so much good local food being served in the grassy area above the action. There will be music and families and if like last year, not a mob scene. Very chill. My granddaughter, a great horse lover, will be taking polo lessons during our stay.
​
San Pancho’s beach is a perfect place to hang out in the evening as the sun sets over the blue expanse of water. I can hardly wait.

Then a cruise through town with its throngs of visitors, restaurants and bars is a must and most of all a return to the tranquility of our airbnb accommodations for a rest accompanied by the soft sounds of the surf.

​Heaven!
