I was telling somebody I love that sometimes when I travel it is not the country of today I want to see. I realized I really just want to time travel.
I would really like to take one of those trips today. I want to check my Baggage at the door, get into the time machine and get out at my parent's house in the 1960's, go get my allowance of 50 cents and walk over to the Corner Store. I want to blow it all on a brown paper bag filled with sweet delights that will make me sick to my stomach.
I then want to time travel to my family's cabin at the lake, where the water was but a hop, skip and a jump from the door. I want to go out on the dock, untie the boat, jump into it, head it out into deep waters and hit the accelerator. I want to feel the wind in my hair and the sun on my face and I want to go exploring with the unchallenged joy of the child I was then.
I want to watch the seagulls drop from 25 feet in the air, free-falling into the lake with an eye to dinner.
I want to wade through the water looking for beautiful stones for my rock collection. I want to watch schools of minnows swim inches from my feet.
I want to sit on the beach in the evening, pushing my bare feet into the sand and try to keep the fire going while the wind crashes waves into the shore.
I want to go there now...to a place where life still held so much promise, still made sense and didn't hurt so damn much.

wellll go for it. I am here in arizona because i gave up all my income sources, put the rv and alllll my travelling expenses on my credit cards and used the last of my savings to make the payments..which has run out.. but i don't regret a minute or cent of it. I spent the winter in the desert writing my ass off..it was my gift to myself knowing that my writing will bring the opportuities for making more money ..you just gotta do what you want to do and plan it and focus on it and do it..
