I have been having some troubles finding the urge to blog lately. I really haven't felt like I've had anything that I consider worthwhile to share or to write about. At different times in my life I lose motivation to do things. During these times when I get down, I don't want to work, I don't want to take care of my diabetes, and I definitely don't feel like writing about it. But then again, as I write this and begin to feel the relief of getting things of my chest, I guess I do.

Right now I'm smiling because I'm sitting in the Saint Louis Airport at 3:49 a.m. and I'm all by myself poking away at the keys on the computer. Airport music is playing in the background and it's a little weird for my taste. I've only had two hours of sleep and I'm way too early for my 6 o'clock flight. I am traveling on JDRF business to New York City; I got here early thinking I would avoid any delays due to the recent American Airline situation. Originally, thoughts of going on this work-related trip were not of the excited kind. But now, as I begin to embark on another traveling adventure, I can feel myself coming out of the little "funk" that I've been in.

As I have written before, traveling does something to me. I love the idea of getting away from my daily ritual and seeing different parts of the world. It's awesome just to get out of the house and experience another journey. I love to see and learn many new things. It makes me feel good and strong to be able to have the opportunity to get out of town for a little while; to leave the house and get away from the everyday daily habits I've gotten into and to break the monotony of the full-time daily work schedule.

Maybe I'll have some more time this week to put together another blog. It shouldn't be too hard to find something to write about while in New York. As I said, this is the reason why I love to travel; I am looking for a little inspiration and to be uplifted out of my recent darker days.

Thanks for reading today and for continuing to read my stuff. -Andy.
