On the road once again and enjoying a little down time for a change. A trip to visit the girlfriends family this time around, a long multi-day drive to help calm the soul. It has been a rough few weeks leading up to this trip but thankfully I have made it through and the relaxing begins now.

Today we visited a place deeply engrained into my childhood, the SAC museum. I have been visiting this place, and the air force base it used to be housed on, since I was a little Taoist, maybe knee high to a grasshopper. It was a favorite event on our trips to visit family and it is a tradition that I am continuing on even without my father on the drive up. He was sad to hear we went, but happy to see a few new planes that they are working on.

It has left me pondering a few things as most things do, a few posts that I need to research and write, along with where I am in life and where I want to go. The image here struck me dumb when I took it… it fit the mood to damn well. What do I fear? Well quite a bit really, but I shouldn’t be in most cases. It is unlikely that I will be eaten by a bear or be shot in the street but there are fears that are a bit more real, the loss of a job or loved one for example. It is odd the fears that we hold close to heart and at arms length. So what are yours? What is it that keeps you from moving forward in life? What is keeping you back?
