Jim, your response got me to thinking....all my life I have wanted to
just have a place where I could fish at my leisure, do some painting,
and write some "bad" poetry . But it may just be a mixed
blessing...like they say, it's the journey that excites the soul, not
the "safe harbor".

Don't get me wrong, I am more than enjoying the moment! But it gives me
a lot of time to reflect on the "journey" also! I have been more than
blessed with a good life so far....I have done things many people only
dream of doing. A sad reminder of one of them was when I learned of the
Blue Angel pilot that died saturday during an air show. I spent four
great years with the team, an experience I will cherish always! I have
visited almost every country that a navy carrier can visit, and have met
people from every walk of life, and almost every culture...what a gift!
I have prospected for gold in the Sierras, jumped out of perfectly good
airplanes, and raced motorcycles on the old dirt tracks....and certainly
not the least, I have known some wonderful and gracious ladies that for
a while, shared their lives with me.....and the gift of the children
surpasses any expectation I might have had when I began that journey!

So, as I sit here and contemplate the "safe harbor"....and I absolutely
enjoy it, I can't help reflecting on the journey, and the joys bestowed
up on me during that "trip"............

So I guess what I am saying is, hold on to the dreams....but much more
importantly, enjoy the journey!

I think I have rambled enough...I think I will go fishing! grin
