Reflection
So I was watching Oprah yesterday, it was all about her trip to Africa, now Oprah does not come on till 3 and I have to work at 4, so I only got to watch about fifteen minutes of it. During that fifteen minutes I cried silently to myself, now anyone who knows me knows a few things about me: I live life for the moment, without cares or regrets, I drive a fairly expensive car, I take trips as often as possible, and I spend money in ridiculous amounts.
There is method to the madness.................
Not long into the recovery period from my car accident I heard the expression 'arthritis" time and time again, from doctors, family, friends, physiotherapists, etc. It was a hard pill to swallow but because I broke both my legs and the break in my left leg was in my knee, I may not be able to walk when I get old, which makes me want to go and do NOW!
Back to the purpose of the Oprah story, so yea I always joked about the fact that I don't care if I am ever wealthy or famous, as long as I am happy, I would live in a hut in Africa. Watching that show and watching these children infected with Aids, suffering from mal-nutrition and others living in the middle of STUPID wars, well I think I should hurray up and get my ass in gear and start living my life for something meaningful. So I am venturing up North later in the spring ( to make so cash) and then going on one more trip and then I think it's time to head to somewhere where i can live each and everyday doing what I do best. Jamie gift (because she is not artisitc or musically inclined) is helping other people, whole-heartedly, it's what makes me happy it gives me my kicks.
This is the first time in my live that I have not done any volunteer work of any kind, I don't belong to any groups or organizations that do charity work, I give money to different collections at work or buy raffle tickets but I feel so hallow. So empty.
