I don’t know where I’m goin’ but I’m sure on my way..

 

What a summer. Ive come to have a pretty strong love…dislike (not hate) for the lifestyle I live here at the beach. On one hand… I could not ask for a better place to be. Mixed right in the middle of paradise. I am surrounded by the waters and sandy beaches of the beautiful atlantic ocean.  Sunshiny days abound and there is always someone willing to be a partner in beach bum-ness. Paradise i tell ya. Because it is so amazing. so carefree. so summer. A relationship of sorts with the season develops.  A true love of sorts for the laughs, the memories, the salty hair and skin days and the warm summer nights. Then comes the dislike…right when you feel life couldnt get much better. BOOM! its over. Life speeds quickly back into view. People depart and all I’m left with is sunkissed skin and memories of the best friends and the greatest  of times. Its rough.  But tis’ the life of a southern summer. I love it and sometimes I greatly dislike it.. But I’d NEVER trade it..

So the question of the moment is “what are you doing these days?” And i’ve got it all figured out. I’m ready to tell you…
ehem, I dont know.

I am about to move to charlotte with one of the best friends this world has ever seen. And i’m going to make something happen. What? I dont know. A job? Better yet a career?? Back to school? I dont know. I just know its time for this girl to take a leap and fly. and see if i soar or if i flap til’ I cant flap no more. (i didnt intend for that to rhyme. its just my true rapper inside).  I dont know what im supposed to be doing right now or exactly where… but I know I can spend my whole life talking about it. I gotta get up and MOVE! and movin’s what I’m doin..

Here recently “OH the places you’ll go!” Has repeated through my mind time and again. so I looked it up and a part that usually never stands out especially stood out today…

On and on you will hike
and I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.
You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!

So call me Buxbaum… and watch close. cause TODAY IS MY DAY! :)
