Goals

In 11 days I will drive 275 miles to an oceanfront OBX house and spend 2 and a half days relaxing, fishing, and recharging with two friends from college. This goal is on my mind constantly, urging me to charge ahead and reach it. For me, well constructed concrete goals have a material impact on my motivation and capabilities. I feel like I have a really good manager.

Meanwhile, that manager has been you all; pushing me ahead, having high optimistic hopes, praying. I have to get better for you as much as for me so I set goals to make it happen.

I am indebted to my friends and wife who willed this trip to be a reality. From the idea, to the wing man volunteers, to the logistics, and to Liza and everyone encouraging me to visit. I can't wait. My work has an office in Kitty Hawk, NC and usually I get to visit my friends down there once a month, but it has been a while. The NC community has been so wonderfully supportive that I feel like part of my therapy is missing without seeing everone down there. So it is time and it is on the books! 10 days and 16 hours to go.

Have a great trip David. I haven't looked at your site for a few weeks and was thinking about you this morning. Reading back to early October I can see you earned this trip! Have a wonderful time with your family & friends.
