March 22…. Can’t sleep

It’s 4am here and I’m awake, so let’s see what comes out of my brain…

I sat in the sun yesterday, reading a bit, dozing a bit, and listening to the wind through the pines a bit, and just thinking about this trip, and my life. How different it’s turned out from what I had envisioned just a few short years ago. Someone once said to me “life is short, why are you waiting?” and I’m finding that to be so true. Take a chance, make that leap. Life won’t wait, start now, carpe diem, all that crap.

I was thinking about all of the people in my life that I left behind. My kids and our families. My friends from Cumming that I have known for so many years. My CHOA and HP friends, I don’t miss the jobs, but I certainly miss all of the people. (Neal, Brad, Robert, this retirement stuff is the BOMB! Go for it)

I’ve never considered myself a real people person, I have always left that up to my partner. But being out here for so long makes me truly appreciate everyone I left back home. I miss all of you. (Not enough to turn back though 😆)

I’m gonna wake Susy up in a few minutes, there’s a cafe that opens at 6 for breakfast. It’s not WaHo, but sometimes you just have to make lemonade. 😉
