Default I miss flying

I miss flying but am very glad to have chosen a different path. Had I took another flying job I would have been laid off again by now (or about to be laid off) and looking at starting over again. However this time much older. Just about every company that I had a chance with after getting the ax 5 years ago has down the tubes lately.

Today we are in a much better position and are the masters of our own destiny. My wife and children are happy. I am home all the time and are with our friends and family again. We have much better financial security and are able to pursue other dreams and interests.

All I had to do to get all that we have today was to let go of my aviation dream. It is amazingly costly to ones life.
