Content to be thought foolish...
I never realized it before, but when I am single I think about and ponder about my life much more. I find myself with the TV on but not even watching what is on... instead my mind is full of hopes and dreams. Over the past few months I have done nothing but think about how I want my life to turn out. We all have a destiny but it is the decisions we make in life that determines our destiny... and I have now come to a conclusion... I am content to be thought foolish... I am going to take a huge leap and do something that everyone thinks is crazy is foolish, but I know deep down it is the right decision.
This past week I almost had myself talked out of the idea of picking up and leaving my current life behind. It is not logical or conventional... it is a huge risk... or as my Father put it, just too far away. But truth... how do you really know if any decision is logical or conventional until you try it. The same can be said when you ask a question... you don't know the answer until you ask the question. So the only way I will truly know if City life is for me I have to take the risk and experience first hand, by myself, and if I can survive and thrive that is great... if not at least I took the risk.
It is too soon to reveal my plan... timing is everything and it is not quite right yet. I just really need to get my thoughts out of my mind and written down.
