Letting go...

Ok, so there really isn't much new to report, but I have a few minutes of down time and I thought I'd write a little bit about my latest life lesson.

But before I do that, I got a cell phone over here and this is the number, including the country code: 353 087 299 3107



A few days ago my batteries in my camera died. So I put them in my charger and a few minutes later the charger light was off. So I thought maybe I had plugged it in wrong. (These damn European outlets are driving me crazy!) So I put the batteries in my camera to see if they had charged at all. Instead of the normal "Low Battery" screen, it was not working at all. So I went to the village yesterday to buy some batteries until I could go into Dublin and get a new charger. Well as it turns out my camera was broken too! So I spent the whole day yesterday very upset about the whole thing. I want to use my money here for traveling, not for a camera that I shouldn't need! I went to the mall today to ask if they could fix it. The fellow behind the counter explained that I probably had a leak in the batteries which killed the charger and then killed my camera! I have such bad luck! How was I supposed to know that that had happened? So all because of a damn battery, I needed to buy a new camera and a new charger. But he showed me some good deals on cameras and they all came with chargers. I found a good one that wasn't too expensive (although everything in Ireland is expensive...) and I got it. After I got it I felt so much better that it was taken care of. And then I realized how ridiculous it was for me to be so upset over something so material. I think maybe I needed a little lesson in letting go and accepting what life throws at me, especially while I'm over here in a different country. So there is my silly little story that most of you probably won't be interested in! haha I now have a camera and I will be taking pictures like crazy! I think I will definitely learn a lot this year...
