I asked that question of others,
and
now
my turn:
I would travel
where I've not gone before;
over oceans
and into
unusual lands
where
customs
and
people
and
language
and
food
and
traditions
and experiences
are unknown
and amazing to me.
I would stay there
for more
time
than any
previous vacation
before.
I would enjoy
challenges
food
drink
language
new friends
and life.
And even with
approved
"leave of absence",
I would
"lose"
the job that had been
"waiting"
for me back home.
I would grow
and discover
"monster.com"
and thank the stars above
every day
for
friends
and family
and connections
(and internet)
and
find
a job
back home,
while in a strange land
thousands of miles
away.
A job that pays
much
more...
And grow
and make friends
and experience
new skills
and consider
travel
once again;
to a new unusual land
with giant skies
and lovely landscapes,
holding
different
customs
people
language
food
and experiences .
I will move there
(with my sidekick
co-pilot
husband
partner
best friend)
with
no lodging
no employment
no contacts
and
a little
money.
Find good work
challenging me
to learn
with new friends
in unusual
(and wet)
places.
Find expanded learning
for myself
and my co-pilot.
And keep
in the back of my mind
the idea
I can do
this
again
and
again.
