Peace will come, let it begin with me

It has been raining for hours now. All last night even in my dreams I was aware of the crashing storms outside. The noise of the air conditioner, the swish of the over head fan (very Jacobs Ladder) and the rain lashing on the roof brought me in and out of conciousness as I slept. It feels really peaceful here today though. I am alone and I have no intention of leaving the apartment except to get lunch for me and my stray cat. I am going to attempt to actually write something longer than a paragraph today. I have not managed to do any proper writing since I got here which is a little disappointing because its one of the reasons I came.

Just go to sleep

Last time I was here I hardly slept at all, this time I can hardly stay awake.

The sun is out, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

I am all about coffee at the beginning of the day. It's a nice morning. I think what I gathered from yesterday is that its good to get some sun and sea early in the proceedings as all bets are off later in the day. I was quite scared last night. The storm was pretty intense. I had major concerns re the bug machine which I have now relocated and I can report it is flashing away. I was googling sharks in Miami Beach last night - there are so many its unbelievable.  I saw a You Tube video of thousands of the things just off the coast.The thing is that they are 'unlikely' to come very close to shore which is comforting since I am 'unlikely' to go in the water very far from the shore. I have done some of my best work in the realms of 'unlikely' I can settle for that. I remember Richard telling me about a boy he met who was  compulsivley shooting up cocaine in a cold shower so he wouldn't die of a heart attack. (I am not sure where he got this advice from so don't try it at home.) I said we (AA) could work with the part of him that got into the shower.
