A sailboat cuts through the evening clouds on West Grand Traverse Bay
It's funny...all the time I was growing up here, I couldn't wait to get out and go somewhere else. Now that I have experienced other places, I realize that I really like it here in Northern Michigan. I couldn't be more thankful to have had such a wonderful area to grow up in.
Every time I go out into town, especially the bars, I see about ten or so people that I have not seen in years. And I can't help but compare myself to my friends that still live here. I wonder what the hell I would be doing if I hadn't moved away. I don't think I would really want to know and it doesn't matter anyway. I did what I had to do, when I had to do it. And I don't regret a single choice I've made....it's all been one big learning experience.
This visit back home is of course all about visiting with friends and family, but it is also about saving money. I have been doing some accounting work for my father in an effort to save up at least a little cash for my travels. It is vital that I focus and get some work done while I am here, otherwise it could be a major setback. I am still a little concerned about income once I start traveling in Mexico, but I try not to worry about it. I have been trying to go along with the natural flow of the universe as much as possible lately. What happens happens, and it happens for a reason. There is no use trying to change something that is out of your control, as it will just make you frustrated. Instead, accept and adapt to it. Even look on the positive side and try to see the advantages of the situation.
I will continue to take things as they come, and I will be guided to where I am destined to go in this life.
