Sometimes I forget that I'm living in the middle of the South Pacific. It's easy to do. You get caught up in daily life and days slip by and you just forget. Many of the worries that I thought I left behind have followed me here: Office politics, traffic, laundry, relationships, etc.

Then something happens, like seeing canoe sillouetted in the sunset and I'm reminded about how beautiful it is here in Samoa.

Fortunately, I'm reminded often enough so I know how lucky I am to have been placed here.
