Sun leads me to travel....

I love sun...I think I love it more then the average person. I almost go into a delusional, reclusive, depressed state when I go days without sun. Which is why I end up buying a tanning package every winter, not for the superficial beauty of being tan but because I need to feel the fake rays baking my skin tricking my body to make Vitamin D. I often wonder why the hell do I live in Ohio where during the winter we see the sun maybe once a week? Though its def. worse in Cleveland, I was able to survive in Columbus because it was sunnier there. But having come back to Cleveland and live here for the past 6 years I've realized weather wise that was a big mistake. 
     I wonder if at some point in time when Alan has moved on, will I move out west or down south?  Its strange how after you have a child your just kinda stuck where you are. You are not your own person that can pick up and go anymore, you now have to decide everything in good will for the child first. I think this is what people don't think about when getting pregnant. You no longer can say Hey lets move to Colorado...well you could..but you will no longer have babysitters, school systems, conveniences that would be hard to raise a child. I stress to all my friends without children to just take advantage of the time, to live your life to the fullest, to travel...oh how I wish I had traveled more when I was younger. I was often to afraid to or had fear that I couldn't do it financially but how I wish I would have tried.  
     People often think they will travel after retirement or when they get older with a spouse, but from what I've seen with my parents generation, that really doesn't happen because illnesses take front stage and travel is not in the plans. So now is the time to spread your wings, to go across country, to fly to other cities.  Its a stage in your life that you will never get back so don't let that go passing without enjoyment. Fly with your soul, fly with your mind, fly until you cannot fly anymore.
