Sometimes I wonder about this whole halcyon lifestyle, this go with the flow, fly by the seat of my pants, Thing (with a capital T) we are doing. What on Earth gave us the cajones to pack up & travel the coast by shrimp boat? Yes, I understand my "whys", obviously being cold sucks! But my "who do I think I am" to be blessed and able enough to do it... that's my quandary today. I'm not expostulating about the travels ahead of me... just on a little diatribe of philosophical how comes, why nots, and who the...! When I hear about so much struggle and strive in the world, while I am going to go live an island life where my only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair... I feel... well... torn. Should I stay in the mainland, the mainstream, & try to make a difference? Or, could maybe this project be worthy in the sense of inspiration it passes on to others, & to us as well. Because I am loving my life. Jay is of the same ilk, he says he is deep down happy (like soul contentment). The dogs & the cat are pretty stoked too (Luci, the miniature dachshund, loathes being cold about as much as I do)!
As nervous and anticipatory as I am about the upcoming what ifs down the proverbial road, I am inspired by this wild dream (hence my entrance into the blogosphere), our dream coming true! And maybe for now that is enough, at least for me. Plus if any movie mogul is interested in my story, I'd totally be down for working with ya! A wild lady, a marine ready to set sail, a retired shrimp boat, a dingo dog, a weasel hunting hound, and an overly affectionate black cat, all bobbing along on the briny sea... what a story that will be!
..... Do you think we could get Rachel McAdams to play me?
..... P.s. I did not intend to rhyme those last few lines, I swear.
