Hello all,

Yesterday was a big day in our lives. Our business was officially sold and its assets were moved. Wow !!!! Freedom. Don't get me wrong. I very much enjoyed the business. It was my baby and our salvation for many years. Its funny though...... I didn't realize how heavy that chain was until it was removed. Quite often I am in a prison of my own making and do not know it. I have a patch on my motorcycle vest that sums it up. "What a long strange trip it has been".

We are now in full push mode. I am going to be working as a consultant for one of my clients until July 17th. I am in the middle of more Dive training, Sherrie is packing up the few material possessions we will be keeping, and selling the rest. It s a big job. I have worked all my life for the "things" we have and thought that was hard. I now think it is tougher to get rid of everything. I'm always backwards. Getting to look at our lives this way really puts things in perspective. Its not the things in my life that are important. My wife, our family, our friends, the little blue haired lady at the end of our street, these are the things I've been reflecting on. Have I made a difference in their lives? Are my clients better for having hired our firm? I guess I'm asking the same questions most people would ask. I do not wish to be overly dramatic. I have a tendency to do that, but this really does feel like I'm "changing clothes". I often find my thoughts drifting to the island. I find it hard to not let the life to come, overshadow life now. Now is where peace is. Now is where you are. I need to be now. Too philosophical? Probably.....but I warned you.

Grab something and give it a big kiss.

Peace,

Dennis
