The First Rule of Flying
At the end of “Serenity”, Mal says the first rule of flying is love. That if you don’t love your ship, “she’ll shake you off just as sure as a turn in the worlds.”
I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.
Can you excel at something you don’t love? Can you belong somewhere that you don’t love? Does it make sense to spend most of your time in a place you don’t love?
All good questions. And I think I know the answer. But I may be wrong.
So I’m still thinking and praying, contemplating a leap of faith.
But, don't get me wrong...I'm not contemplating leaving my husband or family - I love them plenty. It's not that sort of change I'm considering.
I'm just thinking of re-ordering my priorities to spend less time on stuff that doesn't matter and more time on stuff that does.

Dear Selena,
I think you are hot. But only if you're Selena Gomez.

Uh, thanks. But I'm not Selena Gomez. Sorry.
