Beginning a new life in a place you have never been before is going to be an interesting adventure. Right now as I prepare for my trip to the Hilo side of the Big island. I am in the process of buying my ticket for my flight on June 4, 2015. That will be the first thing on the list of things to prepare for doing. I have given my things away that I could have sold but I wanted people who needed the things that were once mine to give them a helping hand. Paying it forward so that when my time comes when I arrive on the Big island that the good karma will come my way when I may need it most then.
I am most certainly committed now as there is no turning back. It is what it is as I move forward by buying my airline ticket for June 4th, then the Amtrak ticket for June 3rd and get them paid for. Then making arrangements for the motel for one night in Portland, OR. This is a big step not knowing where I am going to end up or where exactly I am going to live until I get there. I have put an ad on Craig's list to see if I may get some replies from it.
Trying to find things to do is the hardest thing to do. I have so much time on my hands right now as I work towards phase three. I keep getting a headache from the stress of the unknown by not knowing where I will live once I get to Hilo and the Big Island. I am in the process of starting a whole new life. As each day passes I have to think about the things I need to go before I leave on this adventure I am pursuing. I am so looking forward to this change in my life but the uncertainties is what makes me so fearful.
It is not like I have not been homeless before but walking the walk is not an easy thing to do for anyone. I am experienced does not make it any easier, it just means I have done it before. But this will be all new and I will have to find my way around and once again the not knowing is the most stressful in this situation. Soon instead of writing blog post I will soon be able to write stories about the Island that will be more interesting than these blog posts I am doing now.
If I knew I had people to meet me when I get there and had a place lined up I would feel much better than I do now.
Well enough for this post.
God bless.
James
