back to earth

I am back to earth after my 4-5 weeks of daydreaming and fantasizing about moving South of the Border. I really want to do it, but realities of my life make it impossible to contemplate. A 10 year old in a great school system, who is a fairly good competitive swimmer; a 30 year mortgage on a house I am upside down in; a job I must have just to pay for the house, etc.

I will keep dreaming about retirement, but I have to live in the here and now. I have a wanderlust that my father and his father had, but I have never acted upon it.

I really do hate being a CPA, but how can I make 75k at age 47 in a new field? Not going to happen! And 75k isn't very much really, we barely get by.

I will satisfy my wanderlust by reading other people's blogs!

    Keep dreaming! God gives dreams, and who knows what may happen?

    Mike, don't stop putting the energy out there. You really never know what's going to happen ...
