Takeoff.

After a long day of work and busyness this evening, I am almost finished packing my things to fly out Weds 

I was so tempted to cancel my fitness class tonight because I am swamped, but chose to keep the commitment. I've always given myself an out because my life was about everyone and everything else.I'm learning that I don't want to let myself down.... a huge shift in my thinking...... about myself.

A close friend assumed that I'm "happy" with my life now, who wouldn't be. Single in SoCal, working out and writing, and the list went on. After I explained these things don't make me "happy" but are a necessary path for our. He understood. Everything I'm doing is about continued survival..... the ability to recover makes the difference in your destiny.

When asked what would make me happy, I paused and said, "freedom." I want the freedom to do what I need and want to do, without deadlines, delays, and death dictating my life. It's that simple and I will do what it takes to get it.......... and then I will share it.

I heard this morning that L.A. has not had a drought of the magnitude felt here since 1877. This came several years after the Gold Rush, where "gold diggers" ravaged the land for their own personal gain. Somehow I think the effects are still being felt........

While I tend to worry and wonder how unexpected bills will be paid for, in 3 days time, I was suddenly able to sell a large item used for our remodeling business in PA. Suddenly, my faith was rewarded and I intend to spread it around..... and give some back.... to the land.

I'm going to hit the ground running as I make my landing on the East Coast, so get ready!

Goodnight California and Hello Pennsylvania.
