The Universe Has Spoken.

So - Today is my birthday.

My goal during the next year is to get myself into an even better place physically and mentally, so that I will be prepared to face the challenges that will come with taking the plunge off of that high cliff that I've been peering over and backing away from for years, and trusting that the water far below is deep enough to protect me from harm.

The universe is telling me to jump. I'm going to listen. I will not let my fear of falling keep me from flying.

Translation: Apparently it's time for me to leave the military and not only am I going to do it, I'm going to thrive in the new reality that I'm creating for myself.
