Here I go, starting over. Ruffling up my life and expanding my comfort zone. The condo is gone and that chapter of my life is over. I thought it imperative that I take this opportunity I've been blessed with to restart my life and get moving again. I don't exactly know where I am heading but that is ok. Movement and action are good right now.
So I finally got rid of everything I owned; less what would fit in my car. I packed up the last of my stuff around 10:30 this morning and immediately got on 35 and took off. I didn't even really stop and think about the fact that was it; I was leaving Dallas. I was just ready to leave. The last 3 weeks have been all about selling my stuff and organizing and getting rid of everything I didn't need or want any longer. I'm glad that is over with.
After a couple of hours of driving it started to sink in that I have infinite possibilities right now. I really can go anywhere and live anywhere I choose. My whole life is contained in my car. From a 2 bedroom condo of 1906 sq. feet to everything fitting in my car. Downsizing feels liberating and I'm loving it. It took me 3 years to do it though. It took a while for me to let go of my stuff. A lot of it definitely defined me for a time.
All I know now is that I am headed to San Diego and I'll get there when I get there.
I got off 35 onto 380 and didn't touch another interstate. I love to take the roads less travelled; the back roads. I wasn't disappointed. Highway 207 on the way to Amarillo was one of the most beautiful roads I've seen in Texas.
There were times when I didn't see another car for 20 minutes in either direction.
It was also cool to see people wave at me when I passed them. Definitely the small town Texas hospitality that will surely be gone in California.
I took the following picture as a kind of intention of where I'm heading. Thought it was cool to see early on in my trip in Texas.
Tomorrow I'm off to Taos to get some hiking in. Can't wait to get in the mountains. I skiied there about 8 years ago so it'll be cool to see the mountain in the summer.

Hey Honey. Stay Positive. I was watching Joel Olsteen on TV Sunday and he said to keep saying I'm expecting to do good. I'm expecting to get a good job that I will love. So I have been saying "I'm expecting Tim to do good. I'm expecting Tim to get a good job that he loves." You keep saying that also. I have lit my candle, as Karen says my Jesus Candle and said a big prayer. Keep thinking positive because I believe you are where you need to be. I love you. mom
