Ahhh, the first day I've really been on my own since I met Jason almost 2 years ago. What to do with myself?
Obviously, start being the person I want to be. Seeing as how she's much skinnier and way more athletic, not to mention tan, I figured I'd get Herbie and myself out for a walk up those hills at Bicentennial. It was a great walk, and we had a lovely time. Until, backing out of the parking lot, we backed straight into another couple who were also leaving. Oops. Thankfully, they were incredibly nice, and there was no damage aside from some very minor scrapes on both cars. We traded numbers, and went on our way. Talk about lucky-instead of an ugly scene, it was a moment that restored a bit of my faith in humanity.
And in my pursuit of the possibilities in my future, I also acquired a suit. I have a very nice suit, but unfortunantly, it only fits the skinny me. So I found another, not so nice suit that I can button without doing bodily harm. If I get brave, I'll add a picture later. Perfect? No. But good enough for my purposes right now? Yup.
All in all, a very successful day.

Introducing My Blog...
So, one of the people I most admire and most hate in equal parts has had a blog for some time now...and each time I read it, I think, hey, my life is just as exciting as hers. So I figured, why not stop being jealous, and start writing?
But every blog needs a starting point, the impetus to actually write. Mine? Finding my Daybreak. A few weeks ago, Jason and I watched a movie on our typical Sunday night together called "Morning Glory," a really cute movie about a girl who pursues her passion-in her case, directing a morning TV show called Daybreak. It was funny, and had great actors, and best of all, had a perfect happy ending. And at the end, Jason turned to me and said, "That's what you need to do: find your Daybreak. Find your passion and go after it."
Now anyone who knows me well knows that his encouragement to pursue my passions led me to the disaster that was Clear Creek, so I've been hesitant to even believe it was possible. But now, Jason is gone to his new life in Fairbanks, I've given the majority of my animals and a lot of my favorite possessions away, and I'm at a point in life when my future seems to be a rather blank slate. There are a myriad of possibilities I can pursue, in relationships, in my career, in my location, and especially in my outlook.
So what better time to start blogging about my journey to become the person I want to be?
This is better than Facebook, because there are no status updates that are in your face, forcing you to hear what I have to say. If you find this interesting, please continue to follow along. And if not, no harm, no foul. But if you do choose to follow my journey, I welcome your thoughts, encouragement, suggestions, and even criticism. But mostly your encouragement.
It's a journey we've all walked, albeit in different styles of shoes.
