The way of the world
The world teaches us to find an interest and get a good paying job to support our self and our family. What happens to most of us is that we have a variety of interests and don't know which way to go. Most of us find out at age 40 or 50 that we don't like our job and we want a change or find an escape route from the ordinary. What are we searching for? We work inside a cube with 3 Walls. Sometimes we even have a window if we are lucky. Most of us live for the weekend or a vacation. Europeans take three months off a year. Yeah, I'd like that!!!!!!!!!!! We seek the wind in our face, The sun on our back, We seek a hot summer's day and a long white beach. We seek the blue of the ocean and the sounds of a wave. We surf, We ski, we run. We want some form of freedom and we will do whatever it takes to get it. I personally am a beach girl even though I live in the mountains. They say you can never take the beach out of the girl I believe this is true. I think our real jobs should be the adventurous type. I think we should get paid to have a fun and adventurous life. What gives? Why won't someone pay us to have this lifestyle? It just doesn't work out that way. I have many interests and there is just no way that I would pick just one job. I cannot even think of which adventure I want to do when I have a day off. It all depends. I see my kayak all hung up in the garage, and my ski stuff is up there to. My golf stuff is inside along with all my running gear. I have my mountain bike, my beach cruiser, my speed bike and a girl-y bike with a basket. I just gave away two bikes to St. Vincents last week. I've got enough sports equipment to start my own Olympics. There are so many interests and loves of my life. The best rush: Sail Planes. If you've done it then you know what I'm taking about. Of course skiing really really fast comes in at a close second. How about going fast in a convertible around corners on a sunny day with your favorite tunes paying really loud. Nothing is quite like it I assure you. We all long for it! Don't tell me you don't. Someday I may even get enough nerve to jump out of a plane. Sounds extreme? You betcha! What will I try next? I don't know. What will you try? What is your next adventure? Keep on working because your day is coming.
