On a Jet Plane

Wow! This might be the worst turbulence I have yet experienced! My stomach dipped a few times almost as though I were on a roller coaster! It is truly amazing when I think about how high in the air I am right now and how fast this plane is going! I really should feel more vulnerable than I do.
Well, now the flight seems to have returned back to normal, and I sit and enjoy the process of blogging from the air...

In the air
I have spent a lot of time up here in the last two years and nine months. If I stay with this job until 10-June, then I will have completed three years as a travelling auditor. Through work, I have been able to visit 18 countries, and I've flown over 250,000 miles! Imagine that! And the question remains: is this what I was meant to do? Is this the best I can do with my life right now?

My short answer is yes. The reason is that I absolutely love to travel. While I am an auditor and I have a somewhat conservative personality, I have always had a bit of wanderlust, and I've always felt as an outsider in this world. So, when I spend half my time living in hotels around the world, I satisfy my wanderlust and fulfill myself by feeling like an outsider in another culture, and when I return to the Palacio for the other half of my time, I satisfy my desire to be near my family and friends and to develop my roots. I could just quit work and wander the world as my roommate just did, but my conservative nature prefers the stability of traveling while reasonably compensated and still progressing my career.

So, yes, I think I shall continue with this employment!

You feel like an outsider because your home is not of this world. You'll always feel that way until the final leg of your journey.

Ceebs,

You are right. For: "now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shaall know fully, even as I am fully known."
