This is a gift to myself for living on this planet for 50 years. Not that that is a huge accomplishment to the average woman, but to me it is. I have been blessed with 4 smart vibrant children and 5 beautifully spirited grandchildren. So, now I give myself 365 days of ME time. Figuring out 'how' is the next step. I must be brave and not think of the HOW, and be confident that the universe will provide, if it is to be it will be.
The Plan: To backpack around the world with my very good friend Joyce. We'll start in New Zealand and visit my cousin, then proceed to Australia, up to Japan then the China Continent and work ourselves around to finally end in London, England, then fly home.
So much to consider, what kind of backpack, tent, sleeping bag, shoes, and the list goes on and on. Not to mention what to do with my 'stuff' here at home. What to keep what to ditch, where to keep what I didn't ditch... So much to think about and so much to do.
The opportunity to See all the places in this world, I have only dreamed about is so important to me right now as I stand at this crossroads, of living a 1/2 a century !! Seems so impossible that I will actually be 50 years old, almost ridiculous even. I guess there is still time for me NOT to make it to that milestone but thats what I said about 30 and that sure enough came and went. Well all I have to say is: GAME ON !!
