Like an airplane who has reached its correct altitude, with no obstruction in any direction, no specific location, I am merely a blip on a radar screen which can move freely at any time, this has been my goal, one I have achieved. This is not to say obstacles and obstructions don't exist, but I have learned they can be embraced, avoided, scaled, or worn down over time.
To set such a goal that took years to achieve and succeed has taught me so many things about myself. I can not believe I live on a beautiful island, living the way I choose on a daily bases, some might say I am living the dream and they would be right. However, the greatest achievement from this experience so far is pure unwavering confidence. With each new goal reached or lesson learned through failure, I have only grown to know myself better, and now know that I can achieve anything I put my mind to. This may be the best lesson I have learned yet in life.
I know myself well and observe myself in the present as often as possible, however I have no set location, and no set destination. This sense of freedom is amazing and terrifying at times. However there are days when I long to "nest" to have a sense of "home", in a traditional sense.
I should clarify that whenever I am with Bill and/or Riley; whether it be sailing, reading in bed, relaxing on our deck, or out exploring new things, I have a feeling of being completely whole, content, and "at home", however I no longer have a building, town, or state that feels like "home". I am not sure one has to have a place/structure to call home, but I am currently seeking this answer for myself.
I aim to live in the present, absorb each day, rejoice in the goals and dreams I have conquered. Today I ponder with desire yet without haste my future goals and dreams, because as one dream is reached another stirs from deep inside.
