The Start of a New Adventure



At this point starting a new adventure seems a pipe dream. I don't know when that changes to being reality. It also seems to be selfish, or at least selfishness seems to be the only word we have to describe something we do because 'we want to.' I think its strange that selfish, as a word-if that means-'something for us', seems inadequate. Doing this 'because' also seems inadequate.


BUT...There is no defined reason, no circumstances that overwhelming need to be worked out, no greater ambition, or career move. At this point all we can do to make ourselves head in this direction is to say, 'k we are doing this.'

The greatest concern is what this means to others. The sense of letting go of our responsiblities, the greater impacts on our kids when mixed into the equation of 'because' seems to add a weightiness to it.

At this point Kate and I just go home at night and talk. Rework the plan, as if we are trying it on, making adjustments that help it fit better. We are making progress, but it is slow. It seems to be taking months.
