Signs

There is an Indigo Girls song about seeing "signs everywhere".... I do that... I search and I search... I read my horoscope... I did my "chart"... I read my Indian cards.... I've been to psychics... I read my tarot cards... I do it all... I search everywhere... and I guess if you look... you will see what you want to see... or maybe even things you'd rather not see...
What I can say about all this searching is ... well ... it's clear that I'm searching... lol... but in quite a distracting way... I'm not saying I don't believe in these things...because on some level ... I buy into it all...but ... maybe instead of looking for signs, I should look at some of the things that I do know about myself... maybe it would be helpful to look at the things I know and love...
-I love to analyze things...I love word puzzles... jigsaw puzzles... I love words... cleverly put together in a song... or in a saying...in a book...
-I love a quick wit and a sense of humor...
-I love to dream about "the possibilities"...
-Ok ... I'll admit it... I love reality tv shows... lol... project runway, top chef, fashion show, survivor, amazing race...
-Love music... all kinds... I love plugging in my ipod... it improves anything I'm doing... cleaning... exercising... doing a crossword puzzle...
So... maybe a little less searching for signs... and just start enjoying the things that I love...
Maybe it's a sign... lol...

See the World??

I've suddenly given some thought to the name of my blog...I took the title from a song that I love by the band Gomez... the funny thing is... that I really haven't "seen the world"... Not that I don't want to see the world ... but I really haven't ... I started the blog as a way to let people know where I was and what I was doing on my trip cross country... so perhaps I should have selected the title... See the USA... (in a Chevrolet...lol... actually a Honda and Subaru)... but finally, I will get to see some part of the world... I'm finally going to go use my passport... I'm going to Italy... I am startled... and thrilled that I am actually going to do something I have dreamed about for 18 years... It's amazing... I started planning a trip to Italy during my chemotherapy...I plotted... planned... poured over tour books... found destinations...thought of ways to get around... what a great distraction it was... it provided a beautiful way to spend my horrible hours...and then, when I didn't take the trip... it became just a dream...an idea... a desire... a comforting, familiar dream... ahhh yes... Italy... yes... one day...
Well that day is 30 days from now!... it will become a reality... wow...
