Procrastinate? Moi?

When I made the decision to keep this blog, I convinced myself that I would keep up with it and have at least one update per week. As you can see, that hasn't been the case. Life and time in general has gotten away from me and now, after a battle the last week or so to even gain access to my account to post an entry, here we are again to read my current thoughts about this adventure I've somewhat foolishly embarked upon.

I say foolishly not because I am disheartened or feeling regret for my decision. I use the word to refer to my naivety to how complicated such a task would be to take on. Completely reinventing your life is messy business. Disposing of the old reveals feelings and attachments that weren't obvious before and can lead to deep introspection and self discovery. I had little notion of just how revealing and difficult this process would be, however I feel that already I am better equipped to survive this adventure than I may have been at its outset.

I'm amazed that the first major step of the plan that I put together to make this dream reality is less than a week away. Moving out of this house that I've called home for over two years, the house that I've become more attached to than any of my previous residences, is the only way I'll be able to save the necessary amount to make this move successful. I do also worry that in my excitement at having very few expenses I'll indulge in frivolous spending and cripple my savings. I guess I'll have to make sure I have a short leash on myself in that department.

All in all, I have to say that this "Big Adventure" is getting off to a great start and I can't wait to see what awaits me when I visit my future city of residence, New Orleans, for my vacation in mid-June.
