Poor but Happy

From the outside looking in, I've been through it this year and the craziest part is that it doesn't freak me out. Something has happened, I'm happy! Sure, today is stormy but I know the sun will come out soon. In the mean time, I can close my eyes and imagine I'm there. There is a lightness about my spirit as I move. Random children see it and they can't stop looking. Strangers feel my bliss as I pass by. I've got a lot to smile about. This inner peace comes over me, just as its warm enough to get back into the salt water. I am swimming in the ocean every week and carrying that tranquility around with me... until the next time I submit to the waves. I'm in love with the ocean!

I'm poor, but money is not everything. I'm at peace. Going on interviews and giving it what I got, If I'm not what they are looking for, so what, eventually, there will be somewhere I belong. Men ask me out and I go. Mostly, there's no chemistry or future possibilities, but so what. I'm out there and eventually, there will be a fit. Nothing about my situation is set in stone. I'm a New Yorker, I can handle it! I have managed to keep my soft parts. I will never let the hard edges poke a hole inside. When I need to release, I can just go to the beach.
