September and the start of a new year

I have come to realize that the “new year” starts in September.

This is when people go back to school, people finish vacations and life get busy again.

I am in the process of reinventing my life…again.  This time I am becoming an on-line English teacher.  The more I read and learn about this, the better I feel about the future of this plan.

The problem is, as in any new business, is getting there from here.

I have started up and am building a web site  esl online with Glenn Specht  not a catchy title but it is what I am doing.  I have been exploring on-line videos and other teaching systems.  It is a new and interesting challenge.

I am also slowly making my way east visiting friends.  Since I think I will be in Canada until January, I am not in a hurry to visit all at once.  I am thinking quality over quantity.

September is also the time where stock image sales rebound ( I have been told).  I hope so.  I want to upgrade my technology and pay for the fungus removal from my lenses… and this will have to come from my stock sales.

I have also come to realize that I am not capable of having a “normal” life.  I see friends and family that make and keep long term relationships, that put down roots and become embedded in communities.

I feel envious.

I want that to be me.

And then I hear a story of another place ( Venice, Thailand, Cuba…. ) and I want to go.

On a bus ride between Zamora and Loja Bob Seger came on my iPod.  It was the live version of travelin man/ beautiful loser…

First time I realized that they were two sides of the same story…. kinda like my life
