Survival

Sometimes the greatest challenges in life are the little ones that pour down all at the same time, making you feel like a drowned puppy that wants to hide in a corner  until the rainstorm stops. But when the rain is going continue for the next week, month or year, there is no hiding. You have to get out there and get wet. How do you find the strength to persevere? 

The previous two months have been overwhelming and my days home could be counted on two hands. School started. Monthly grandchildren visits and extra help with babysitting due to summer schedules. Work taking me from Europe to Asia. From one flight to the next... I've got so much to learn in statistics, with a ton to read and in human factors. Then my Dad got sick and ended up in ICU last week, followed by my neighbor who was riding motorcycle this weekend while his wife was preparing for their 40th anniversary...The crash took his life instantly. There are many challenges greater than mine.

This week I fly to Shanghai... a four day trip. I'm not sure if I will be able to get on line. I purchased a program, GoTrusted, to make it happen. But time will tell. Thus, today started at 0400 to get the on-line portion of what needs to be done, done. I survived last week... one day at a time. A couple days I would say one hour at a time, but it's all good. 

I want to thank my friends for their support, and those who find a moment to make me smile. For the concern of those who email and check to see if everything is alright because I haven't been on line with social media for awhile...Thank you!

My plan... Monday morning briefing on life and progress... one week at time.

Thank you all for hanging with me through my first week of school and for understanding that I don't have time to chat on email, or visit twitter. But with your help you can keep me alive...tweet my posts for me, and share them on facebook. That would help so much!

Why am I going through this? Because... I have one wish: To Never Have Another Airline Crash. While this wish may be impossible, we can move the line in the sand, dividing safe and unsafe, as far away from unsafe as we can. 

What else? I also want to continue to support those who want the best career in the world: Flying!

Thank you so much for reading and sharing my novels Flight For Controland Flight For Safety with your friends. If you haven't left a comment on Amazon, please do so. It helps so very much!

Enjoy the Journey!
