BLOG / Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

Jimmy Buffett makes me think of margaritas. Do any of you remember his album (and title track), CHANGES IN LATITUDES, CHANGES IF ATTITUDES? Any of you remember Jimmy Buffett? Rather than dragging you all down that tired, now congested path called Memory Lane, I’ll get to my point pronto.



How many of you come back from a vacation feeling different? Changed? Inspired? More positive? I hope each and every one of you can relate to these questions, regardless of where your own personal longitude or latitude’s located. For the past year and a half, I’ve been hanging out @ 51° 30' 0",-0° 4' 0" (London, England), and that’s exactly 15 months longer than I’d expected. Somehow, it’s become home. How’d that happen??? Possible answer: Mini-vacations = changes in attitudes. Can you relate?



I don’t know why, but on my last holiday (travel/s: British-English; Christmas: American-English), I just knew something was going to be different upon my return “home.” Looking back to the start of the New Year, I was right. My attitude’s changed, and as a result, so have my goals. I’m more positive, more fresh. I appreciate and respect where I now am, and I want to make the most of my time here. Cheers, Londoners. I don’t take you for granted.



Cheers to y’all. I’ll always appreciate those of you who follow this blog, whether you choose to read it or not. Its keywords (writing, spirituality, humor) will go unchanged, but the blog title will now become, STORIES ABOUT FACING FEAR: BOOKS. It will continue to be my adult (grown-ups, not pornographic) blog. Now that more of my time’s devoted to my teen storytelling program, I’ll soon be launching a second blog, STORIES ABOUT FACING FEAR: TEENS (http://StoriesAboutFacingFear.blogspot.com/). Also, the URL, www.StoriesAboutFacingFear.com, will now forward to that (blog) site. My primary website (for adults AND teens; related to my books) will remain www.ClintAdams.com.



I’m happy that I’ll get the chance to write in “teen-speak” again. OMG, I can’t wait. It’ll be sooooo chillaxin’.



Adults, my BFFs, you still with me? Or you think I’m bein’ a wanksta? Whatever.



Seriously, I want you to know that I’m with you for life, my friends. My mission hasn’t changed; I’ll continue to write about spiritual stuff in the funniest way possible, exactly the way God intended.



So, until next time, stay positive and KEEP traveling…your head’ll be glad you did.
