Last weekend I went south. To the the Delaware shore, that is. A road-trip I love to take to be with some of my favorite people. This trip to the beach I was joined by three co-pilots who kept the tunes pumping and our navigation on target, and the mind from going crazy as we inched along the Jersey Turnpike. Sitting on the sand, Maryland crabs, swinging on the swing set, playing games with a cocktail or two - my kind of heaven. I knew I was happy because I was relaxed. Relaxed enough to think about life and how I live mine. I thought about what holds me back, what keeps me going, what I struggle with, what I am comfortable with. A lot of thinking, right? The list goes on and I will not bore you with the details but I did come up with a few ideas that I will share with you as they develop. The first one is to drive across the country. I know...you are thinking, well weren't you just complaining about traffic?! Yes, but this would be different. I would take lots of time to use the opportunity to stop and see people along the way, stop to see Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, drive along route's I never knew existed. Just me and the road. I have dreamt of doing this for years, but the opportunity never presented itself. Mind you, this is an idea and I have responsibilities to keep searching for a job. But I want to start acting upon my ideas instead of just writing about them. The rest I have yet to figure out. Details, details. You will be the first to know whether bearfoot is going west. Until then, maybe this can be our little secret...I haven't yet shared this genius thought with my parents. Wish me luck!
