Back in Barcelona
Funny to think as Barcelona as home, but when I got back from Austria, that is what I thought as the plane landed somewhere familiar.
Speaking of plane, that was another intersting story. Apparently my flight back was on Monday, but I was so sure it was on Tuesday. So I left David´s house at 5am and gimped my way to the bus station on my still-sprained ankle. When I got to the airport, there was no flight to Barcelona. So I went back to David´s house and waited outside in the literally freezing cold for an hour, trying to get back inside.
In the meantime, I read another amazing book, well, two, that you should also check out.
"Rapid Recovery from Neck and Back Pain" which is a take off of Dr. Sarno´s book that I mentioned in my last entry. Really inspiring. Highly recommend it.
"Sonrise" which is written by the guy that wrote "Happiness is a Choice." Funny, because my aunt bought that book for me years ago and I just wasn´t ready to hear what it had to say. But now I am, and it has made a world of difference, because he´s right. Happiness really is something we choose. Amazing.
Needless to say, now that I know, I choose happiness every morning and I don´t feel so alone or sad anymore. Life is truly beautiful.
But back to the story.
So on Wed. I went back to the airport at 5am and they told me I had to buy a whole new ticket to get home, for 165 euros. Well, there I was, with my head in my hands, literally sobbing in the airport. I had no money. My stuff had been stolen. I had no credit card and I was stuck in Austria.
The lady at the desk was very nice and brought me hot chocolate. I called David and asked him to work some David magic. Well, they told him I had to pay, but his credit card still wasnt working. In the end, the lady put her job on the line and made us promise to have the money in her account by monday or she would get fired.
And I made it safely back to Barecelona.
I had a great experience in the airport during my layover in Mallorca. There was a woman with two cute 2 year old twins. She obviously needed help with them, so there I was, on the floor in the airport with my guitar, all smiles, laughing and rolling around and playing. And we couldn´t communicate with words because I dont speak German, but it was wonderful. I really treasure all the kids I had in music together and all the kids I had the opportunity to take care of over the years. What a blessing!
As for me now, I am back in Barcelona. I started Spanish classes and I am reading a lot, since my ankle isn´t very strong yet. -- Harry Potter, in spanish this time. It is great from building my vocabulary.
I also wrote another song about my new take on life. I think it is the first happy song I have ever written. Usually I just get inspired when I am sad or hurt or angry. For those of you who haven´t heard my C.D. I made over the summer, I want to try to add a few songs this winter and get a full length C.D. by next year.
I gotta write a couple more songs before that will happen. I´m working on it.
Well, off to see if I can make something out of my life tonight. I am once again down to only $10 which has to last me a week! so I continue to find people who want to buy me drinks or dinner. See if I can work the magic tonight. (Last night I had to jump off the metro at some unknown stop and wait for the next one because this guy that I met that night was trying to force me to kiss him and kept saying he wanted me to have his children. Scary, but I just waited a while and went home when I knew his metro was long gone. Doing my best to be safe in this adventure).
Love to all.
