I couldn't resist to name this blog episode after my favorite movie Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe. It is a must to have and watch for those who see beyond the obvious. I have read the books of this particular writer and just love them. It is quiet a commentary on us as human beings. Well I have not been in deep thought. As a matter of fact I have been on the go all summer. Incomplete on several plans and that is where I am right now. Before I turn 50 I desire to complete some things that are important to me. Habits are hard to break and I'm told to create new habits takes about two to three weeks. Well I'm creating new habits around food and goals. So you my friends and public get to hear, read and see my progress on two goals I have set.
Why do you ask that I go public. Well to hold my self accountable and not allow the alter ego talk me out of what is important to me. One is to let the past go. I won't go into the details but it is clear to me somethings are hanging on and the twenty pounds I get to lose are part of the equation. Today is the day I change my eating habits for longevity and my own personal desires.
Second is to get Wilderness First Aid and kayak instructor qualified over the winter. Third is to take the GRE however can I confess I desire to have a masters in theology, outdoor recreation and writing. What is a poor ho to do? To coin Wayne's favorite phrase.
Also I get to talk about something I am in deep thought about. Friendship. It is evolving for me. I envisioned as a child to have the house where everyone came for food, drinks, laughter and warmth. A large family and lots of people in the neighborhood who stopped by regularly with recipes to exchange and good stories. Where is that world and universe? this go, go, life and never having time to see or visit the people you love and care about except through Facebook is over rated. My challenge for myself is to cultivate friendships with people who desire to move beyond a facebook experience. If you feel me give yourself a happy clap and go out and play.
I desire to expand and create a peer group that thinks beyond their circumstances, past, money conversations and society expectations. Yes I'm going all end with who I am and yes I have so many faults one being food, wine, women and occasionally fine Middle Eastern men. No offense to the brothers just the accent does wonders to my ears. I will not apologize for my temper it has saved my life many times. My son and I have a complicated relationship and right now I am taking space lots of space. It is what it is and everything is everything.
I'm interested in people not chained to desk, job, home and ready for a new experience.
So this has been a public service blog of my thoughts at random and flowing with some pent up things I get to say.
So keep coming back for photos and updates on my life changes and the goal to lose 20 pounds and also become certified this fall in Wilderness Response.
