Up, Up and Away

Could the next one be?????

Everyone knows that I love Baltimore. Charm City is a great place. It's just that...charming. And for me pretty darn comfortable.  At the same time, I have to leave from time to time. Staying too long makes me antsy.  I get the urge to leave...often. Perhaps the traveling makes me really appreciate my home town and keeps me settled here.

Last weekend I was in my absolute favorite city, NYC. If you are a follower of my blog, you know how I feel about that great place. It's so very hard for me to leave that city. I could live there. Easily.

This weekend I'm bound for the left coast...San Diego, to be specific. And, I can't wait to get there. 

The past few weeks have been rough ones, so a sunny few days in the land of beautiful beaches and beautiful people surrounded by fun and football should be just what the doctor ordered. Bring on the sun and fun!!

Going through changes leaves most people looking at their life from a different perspective...hind sight. 

• Darn hind sight. That place where you can look back and see the things you did wrong. Learning. 
• Fantastic hind sight. That place where you look back and see what you did right and what you feel great about. Peace. 
• Grateful hind sight. That place where you see and know why you did and said things you did and said.  Perspective. 
• Empowerment hind sight. That place where you can look back and know what you are actually capable of. Strength and Grace. 
• And wow hind sight.  That place where you see what you need to change. Opportunity. 

I'm using my rough spot to really figure things out. (See also: the glass is half full, eternal optimism and something better is coming.) In several ways, I've come to see where I need to make changes and for the first time ever, I think I know actually how to make them. Yay me!!! They won't be easy but that will make them all the better.  If you are curious to about these said changes, fear not, I'll elaborate on the changes at another time.

In other ways and in the meantime, I'm checking out some of my favorite places to see if a geographical change is necessary. I certainly cannot run away. I know this.  But I must say...I'm feeling the urge to run towards something. To go in a different direction or to take a new chance.  To go to something that may have always been inside but I've never been ready to embrace.  I'm not so sure my forever something settled is in Baltimore. What I do know is that I am not nearly as settled as I want to be. And now is the time to learn from my hind-sight view and move forward. 

So...TBD readers. 

In the meantime, California here I come. Will my next flight be a one way?? Who knows at this point. But the possiblilty sure is exciting! Let's see if I really could be a California girl. :-)
