Freedom Envy

Recently, a blogger that I read and follow posted how she changed her life to be able to be free to travel.  I read this post - not with excitement - but with envy.

You see, I was once working towards this goal.  It was back in 1994 and I had many things in place to make it happen.  Leave the corporate world behind and work on building my own business of IT consulting and freelance writing.  I got close... really close, but something happened that took my focus away from it.

So each time I read of someone else making this happen, I look back and wonder why I didn't continue to pursue this.  And I think about how I can make it happen again today.

This is my goal in life. Someday, I will reach it.  But not without looking back a few times a year and wondering why I didn't make it happen sooner.
