for many years, i openly talked, and aspired to getting a pilots licence.. i longed to fly.

then, as i approached 40, i divorced my husband, when back to school and got my undergraduate degree (and i think of going further... but) changed careers (again!) and along the way, i lost my desire to learn to fly. Not that i don't think it would be a nice idea, but i unless i will the lottery (and i almost never buy tickets!) or some rich person takes pity on me, and gives me millions of dollars (and i am not a pitifull creature, so that unlikely!) i doubt i will ever invest the time and money required to learn to fly.

but since my divorce, i have had wonderful relationships, i have changed jobs and careers, i have moved (twice) and sold my house and move to a new co-op apartment-- i have traveled near (MI) and far (Japan)...

i fly.
