A few days back I wrote of the three things I need in life .
The only three things in life I require as a nomad to feel at home. I ended the
blog with number four, my MacBook air, which is my lifeline to the planet and
to the planetary system which is my inner thoughts.. I literally type
everything I am thinking….
So this morning I was leaving work at 4am and I just had an
overbearing urge to hear my best friends voice and see how he was doing…At
moments like that time Zones don’t mean much, but we are friends and I knew
he’d forgive me for waking him on his part of the planet…
His first question was why are you awake and what time is
it….?
And that’s when I realised that despite what I wrote the
other day there are three other things missing from my NOMADS GUIDE TO HAPPINESS…..
Remember, 1 is a comfortable sofa, 2 is a comfortable car
and 3 was an amazing sounding GPS device, 4 of course as I have stated again is
my MacBook Air…
Work completed at 4am and number 5 struck me like a thunderbolt…
an amazing career.! There were several
years a decade or so ago where I tried to change careers, infact I have always
wanted to practice Law…. But I stayed with Pastry and seriously, who wouldn’t
its amazing…
Making the planet a happier place one cake at a time is an
amazing feeling. I love making the requests at BLOSSOM SWEETS because you just know when people open up the box
they are going to go WOW….and the planet will be a better place for a while.
Today I am actually fortunate because I do have two great
careers, food and writing and they both allow me to be creative in different
ways and to totally express what is inside of me.
Having those two portals of self discovery available at al
times is a great way to live and to find freedom.
And of course if you
have an amazing career or careers you need an amazing best friend to share it
with no matter the time you call him… and he is number 6.
In 2012 alone I have been privileged to travel extensively
with this sensational job of mine, Canada, Hawaii, USA, Phillipines, and
Bahrain to name a few, and all the while I have been able to tell my friend of
what I’m doing and how it all goes and he is happy for me. You don’t need a
thousand friends on Facebook when you have one real friend in life.
Well it now nears 5am and I have to be back at work at 9am
so finally I am reminded of the 7th requirement of a NOMADS GUIDE TO HAPPINESS…. Yep, the
only real materialistic object I have other than a handful of clothes is….a
coffee machine… . I could not live with out my dozen espresso’s a day. There is
just something so calming too in the house about the smell of a freshly roasted
coffee being brewed. I make a point of never getting in the car without having
had a coffee. Other drivers beware if ever that changes. I m just a nicer guy
with a an espresso running through my veins.
Anyway its time to curl up on the comfy sofa and let the head
rest for an hour or two….a warm cup of coffee always makes me sleepy !!
I may only have an hour or two till I head back to the
kitchen, but I have everything I need, and that’s soothes this soul a plenty……
Have a great day folks..
And remember
GOOD THINGS BLOOM, GREAT THINGS BLOSSOM
