Why?

Thats the question I get asked the most, Why?

I guess I can give three reasons why, a sense of purpose, a shining hope and a boon of achomplishment.

I believe that God created everyone and everything for a reason, I believe I have found the reason I was put here, and this is it. I know some people might take this the wrong way but there's not much I can do about that.

But no where else, does my self confidence soar like it does when I'm here on the road, no where else is my sense of wonder fulfilled, like it is when I'm traveling.

When I'm home and things start to get dark, now I just need to look to the future to the shining lighthouse God put before me to show me the way to give me hope. To bring me back where I belong, and comforts me when I'm down the way no other thing or person can do no matter how hard they try.

Right now I find myself looking back on the last time I hit the road, and I remember the things I did and saw and tasted, and experienced, and I can't help but smile with pride.

I know some people don't understand, but there are others who won't even try to understand, they just laugh at me for being a fool, or scowl at me for being selfish, and lazy.

I'm not going to deny the fact that they do affect me, because they do. But I can't worry about that too much, it'll just give me an ulser. And an ulcer is one thing I can't afford not with the very spicy Thai food I'll be eating soon.

Hey Trav,

Boy, do I envy you for just packing up and going. How cool to see everything that you have seen. What an experience.

This is so wierd, I have never written in a blog before. Hell, I didn't even know what one was before this.

Between you and your brother, you are gonna keep the rest of us on our toes. Now we have to worry about both of you. Ugh!! (he-he)

I will keep this first one short.

Have a great time and be careful.

Hey Trav,
Sorry it took so long to get on your blog and read. I truly think this is what you need to do. Kari is right we as a family need to realize that each of us is on a path and yours is by far the coolest one as of yet. I really hope that you know that I love you and well maybe pick on you at times for no reason but in the end its all about the friendship you and I have. I would not trade it for any thing in the world. People should be so luck to have what you and I have. Thanks for being my oldes and best friend. Eric
