I have been given an amazing gift; the
opportunity to change the direction of my life. If you had the chance, what would you do? While you ponder this, come with me as I
decide the what, where and how of it.
What will the soundtrack be? I
have already begun my BIG ADVENTURE (BA for short), but I am going to retrace
most of my steps to catch you up.
I’ll start with a brief recap of the
events leading up to the BA.
2/14/12 Dear husband of 32 years calls from another state to scream “I want
a divorce!” This may seem harsh, but it was actually in response to my abruptly
terminating a pretty contentious argument by pressing the “off” button on my
phone. I’m sure you can picture all the
pain, anger, sadness, relief, surprise, blah blah blah, so we’ll skip
that. This is about my new life, not
about how I got here.
3/16/12 The divorce is
final. Really, couldn’t the court have
moved a tad slower so that it would be St Patrick’s Day? I mean, it started on one Saint’s day, a
little symmetry would be poetic, don’t you think? We’ll just have to find poetry somewhere
else.
As Part 1 of the BA comes to a close,
I suggest you listen to Gaelic Storm’s version of “Scalliwag” – Oh goodie! I
found the YouTube video with the lyrics.

I almost forgot - your homework assignment is to dream big; what would you do if you could? No, winning the Lottery is not possible. Work with what you have.
