Its sinking in a bit, the ramifications of the possibility of teaching in South Korea, and I gotta tell you, I'm happy mostly for the opportunity to change my life for the better; to be something I haven't imagined being to this point in my life. This, in other words, is Point Break, where the old truly ends and the new begins. Will it be enough to power my future in the manner I imagine? Maybe, maybe not, and I still have to qualify with an "if," although the prospects look good at this point. None the less, its a change, and a sufficiently big one to alter the course of my life stream. Additionally, I know the man I've been, and if my opinion about just wanting to be left the hell alone ever stands a chance of changing, God has some work to do on me, and I think by this, He will. If it all works out, yes, I will miss friends and family, perhaps Martha, even, for some period while we work out the logistics of this whole thing, but she, above all, understands the NEED in me to change my life, to be and become that which I dared not dream of for so long. Why didn't I dream it? I can only imagine I was too wrapped up in anger and frustration to even contemplate it, or perhaps even if I had, somehow, it wouldn't have happened. But this is different. The whole aspect of "feeling my wings," making efforts, and doing as I have never done, is huge. And, ultimately, scary, but I've already felt bad about all the things I haven't done to this point in my life, it's high time to, as I'm prone to telling others, "live like you mean it."
As always, stay tuned........
