Something Completey Different

I guess you could say this is day one (1) and tomorrow would be two and so forth, however I'll just stay here. Right now, here, there is a new resolve to remain in the present and not skip ahead (in my head) to events that haven't happened and may never happen. Even now as Linda beckons for me to go to the store for bacon and Outlook signals that there something to be reminded of, I choose to stay right here with this moment! It is a struggle sometimes.

There is a new resolve...
Somehow spending a day on the water, as I did yesterday (a nondescript charter with a family of 5) has allowed me to push further into my fear and face what appears to be coming down the road, when actually it's here already. Namely a seemingly sweeping change in lifestyle and life logistics. Linda and I talked last night about selling everything (including the boat), purchasing a cat and living on a mooring ball, off the grid. This feels both scary and exciting!

How does this fit for both of us, I'm not too sure right now. There's a lot to figure out and more questions than answers. I'm sure there will be more on this as the days progress. In the meantime staying in the Present is still enough of a task, enough of a reward, enough of an overall pursuit to warrant my undivided attention.

Right now I'm hungry for breakfast. Who wants bacon?

Day 0

Leaving San Diego this morning (way too early), on our way toward Hawaii and the Island of Oahu.
