Introduction

On spring break this year, my family and I took a vacation to Pensacola. We gave both of the kids he opportunity to bring along a friend. On the drive down I was thinking about how I would feel if my kids were off on a vacation with someone else. I knew that if I called them, they would not provide much detail about what was going on, I would get a lot of one word answers and not much more. I decided to start a blog for the parents and I basically detailed the events of each day of the trip, provided some pictures etc...

When we got back the parents were really appreciative of the information and really enjoyed it even though it was just day to day stuff. I guess when its your kids even the mundane can be exciting. The most interesting thing about it though was how I felt when I was posting the days events. I really enjoyed it and it was therapeutic for me. I had heard of people spending a lot of time 'blogging'. I was familiar with the technology and saw a lot of business uses for it, but I never really considered starting a personal blog.The vacation blog got me interested though. Many times I have thoughts and realizations about life, living, spirituality and such that I always wanted to share, but I never found the right forum for it. This could be forum that I've been looking for.

So what's with the name? While we were on the aforementioned vacation, I had time to reflect about where I was and where I was going. Several times during my life I have had to make major course corrections. I decided that when we returned, it was time for another. More details about that later....
