I haven't blogged for awhile because so much happened I needed time to process it all. I want to share everything of this journey as I have so many people checking in on me through this journal but it was a very fast pace as I believe I was right on target ..which means I was right where I was supposed to be when my goals materialized...my timing was right on and that's because I resisted the temptation to get sidetracked. Now I am in Kingman which always was my final destination and I am relaxing a bit in a beautiful empty house with my little electric heater and my briefcase, laptop, folding chairs and blanket..and the knot in my back and shoulders from the drive to L.A. and back out again is going away...so nice to be parked for awhile. On my New Year's Eve I watched ELIZABETHTOWN by Cameron Crowe and produced by Tom Cruise/Wagner..and at the end he did a road trip and some of the same roads I took..only he stopped I was on a mission...
Downside of this pace and rv living is I tend to turn to jelly...when I am parked for like a week i get back to my morning workouts and everything starts to suck itself in...but man at my age it goes back fast. So worked out this morning and am sitting making new goals, checking off the old ones (even route 66 as it is a prominent feature of Kingman), and creating the action plans for the new ones...this is what got me here so this process worked for me. I am loving my life more and more and appreciating myself for making it happen and pushing through my own resistances. I feel like I have left an old life behind and am now where I wanted to be so now I really have to focus cause everything just moved up a notch right across the board!
Read a romantic story this morning that Clark Gable and Carole Lombard were married here in Kingman (hiding out from press) and then ended up at the Oatman hotel (ghost town attraction now) for their wedding night and came back frequently as they had so many good memories. So I-40 is what replaced route 66 in 1952...year of my birth so thats why I am always so close to it..and I had wanted to travel on it when I was planning this trip.
