Marking Time
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Here it is, 3 months since I’ve returned from South America and I’m stiil waiting to see whether or not I will be headed to Africa with the Peace Corps. I’ll admit, I was never good at waiting on something that may or may not happen. It’s one thing to wait for transportation that is slow but you know will eventually arrive. But I can say that this is quite annoying. I’ve decided on a plan “B” if my trip to Africa does not workout. All I can state at this time is that it will involve travelling again. My belongings are so few that I will be able to leave in an unbelievably short time. The last sentence translates into how liberated I’ve become. Whenever I pass a gas station, I know that the best thing I ever did, aside from casting off the ball and chain which was my career, was to sell my automobile. I’ve realized that instead of basing my success on what I can consume, I now define success on how little I need to live a happy existence. But I digress. I feel that there are many places I wish to explore before I am unable to. And since travelling seems to be my first love I will embark on another journey as soon as I am able, either with the aformentioned P.C. or as a nomad just like my heading implies. Since I am currently in the local library I will now venture to the travel section to digest some information and to dream about my next adventure.
