It is hard being on the road over 200 nights a year...away from your family, isolated in many ways. It definitely isn't for everyone. This blogs represents the thoughts of just one such person. Read along and find out if the road is for you.

What to do, what to do...
I feel like I have a bunch to catch up on. Just like everyone else, it is a very busy time of year. And I haven't even thought about things that need to get done in relation to Christmas until just last night.
I find myself seemingly in a never ending quandry. My list of things that should or need to get done gets added to daily and I honestly haven't seem much come off of it lately. I am not quite sure why that is or if it is a good or bad thing. But it is what it is.
I have been listening to Tony Robbins Personal Power tapes lately (in addition to reading books about focus, self improvement etc.) These could be some of the reasons that I feel comfortable (not a good word, but will work) in adding more tasks to my to do list.
I spoke with my boss yesterday. The original plan of going to visit Julie's family has fallen apart for a variety of reasons. And maybe that is the blessing. When I spoke with Lori about if my services might be needed over the holidays, she thought Da Company could get by without me. So the blessing might be giving me some quiet time to really sit down and define my goals for the next 12 months.
The only challenge is should we spend it at home or at a more remote location? I had seen this wonderful Hilton property in Maldives that was awesome, but they are already booked up for the holidays.
I had someone call me the other day and offer me almost 1 months pay for 1 week of my services. Which sounds good initially, but would mean I would have to take vacation time to do it. My friend Jim from Florida also asked me a similar question to help his business. I am actually leaning heavily on rejecting both offers. Money is good, but maybe time off to regroup is a better value to me at this time.
I read another friends blog who wrote about her Dad who recently made his transition. That made me think more about my Dad and also about Natasha's G'Pa. At least my Dad hasn't been given a time frame on how much time he has left. I don't want to ever be in a position that I wished I had said something or visited more often. I do talk regularly with my Dad, but his health is definitely deteriorating. I need to make the most of the good times I have with him.
Blog on!
