A clean sweep

One of my goals is to purge a lot of the stuff I own (Or that owns me). Purging is a long process of going through my belongings, what's more difficult is letting things go. We had a garage sale this past weekend and sold  bunch of random things, there is a palestra of stuff left. We had plans to have another garage sale. With this sale being so much work we decided to postpone having another one. I am taking all the leftover garage sale items and donating them to the Salvation Army and Goodwill. Even with everything that I'm letting go, there is so much more. So the work go on...

Getting my kicks on Route 66- The Blue Whale

    I'm doing a bit of exploring in Oklahoma. There is so much to see and do in Oklahoma and on Route 66.
     In Catoosa (Right off Route 66) there is the Blue Whale. It was constructed, on site, by Hugh Davis between 1970-72. Originally it was built as a one-of-kind wedding anniversary present. It's 80' long, 15' tall, and 10' across. You're allowed to walk in it...but no jumping in to go swimming. There is a little gift shop on the site as well. 
If you happen to be traveling the Mother Road, this is well worth a stop and look see. 
So being able to travel and see new things is just what I've hoped for. The Blue Whale is just one thing on my bucket list. Check that one off.

And so it begins...

I've recently decided to make major changes in my life. It's time to start fresh and change every aspect of how I've been living. I'm going to take a year to accomplish this monumental task.
Join me on my journey of rediscovery and renewal.
My first step was to quit working, this will allow me to focus on my goals. So, check that off my list. In 17 days I'm having a garage sale, I'm selling as much as I can. I am going to lighten up the stuff I have. (Plus I need to pay my bills next month.) I hope you'll join me on my journey, it should be a hell of a ride.
