Blackbird - (KK)

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free." Blackbird, The Beatles

(Also, check out the Billy Preston version which my son shared with me. It's a different twist to the song and makes me smile.)

Anyone who knows me well knows that I have a low navigational quotient (NQ). I am not sure that is a real term but you get the drift. I just don't have an easy time with directions. North and South., East and West. How is it birds always know which way to fly? 

While planning this trip, my sister in law, who is much younger and just starting her family, asked me if I was having...

Let's just get the words out on the table. A Mid Life Crisis. Is that what this is? No, at least I don't think so.

To be fair this is a transitional time in my life and many parts of my life have been extreme these past couple years. Not all bad. Not all good. Now I am being extreme in taking care of myself and it feels great. Maybe it is a Mid Life Refresher.

As I chase the sun, I know I am really chasing my own light. Now if I can remember which way is East!
