Welcome to My Adventure

Day 163

This has been the best weekend I've had in a long time. Well... except for Memorial Day weekend. It was pretty kick ass too. Well... and last weekend was pretty fun as well. Oh yeah and I'm going to Daytona over the July 4 weekend for a race. Oh yes.. then there is the Bristol race in August, a possible trip to Virginia in July, at lease one camping trip and... wait... I almost forgot, there's that trip to Vegas we're planning in September. Geez! I guess I'm on a roll. Perhaps I should start again.

This weekend was yet another great weekend. Welcome to my new adventure. I'm blazing a new path and I'm really starting to love it. We all go through periods where we are just sort of down. At least I think we "all" do. I know I do. But, I've had an opportunity to put a lot of things in perspective lately. And, there's just no way around it. I've got it pretty damn good.

In the last three weeks, I've had the opportunity to spend time with some great people. People that, by the way, I love more than my luggage. (old movie line from Steel Magnolias... keep up people.) I've laughed. I've cried. I've loved. There is no greater gift than being surrounded by "family". Yes. I said family because my friends are my family. Nuff Said. 

Sure, I have challenges just like the next guy or gal. But, when you stack those things up against all of the great things I've got going on in my life, it makes those challenges seem not so difficult after all. I'm excited to see what this new week is going to bring.

I pledge now to greet Monday with a smile instead of my usual moderate disdain. I pledge to have as much fun as possible. And, I pledge to take care of myself so that when next weekend rolls around I can have another adventure filled with twists, turns and surprises I might not ever see coming.

Get out there and live life. It's the only one we've got.

Cheers!
