Home, or is it?

in

This is the second time I came home from a bike ride across the United States. This time is much better actually. I have a home, a dog, a car, a resume. Last time, my brother and I had to rent a car since the car he gifted me, broke down in the middle of the desert. I’d say i’m in an actual great place.

I was laid off by my employer, I ended a long relationship and decided to be a single person. Beginning a search to find out who I am. I am 34 and almost 2 years with a different heart. I’ve spent the last couple of years, listening and following the prognosis to a T. This is the third time, I’ve built myself back to “normal”. This one is actually the most normal I’ve ever felt as an adult.

As a healthy adult, I need to be able to make the best decisions, in the best interest and perspective as ME. Not seeking or receiving input whatsoever from anyone other than who I chose to ask. I’ve worked really hard to return home, or normal.

I am not really normal. Not many people would be excited to be unemployed and recently going full time into creating the career and life, I have been fighting and working for my entire life, to call mine.

Day 3-5 P.A (Post Austin)

Hello everybody, Danny here again. In case you don’t know who I am, I am Mike’s RV driver, route co-planner, dog sitter, partial cook, RV/bike maintenance man, and his younger brother.

The last couple days we rode from Brookshire, TX to Webster, TX to Surfside Beach, TX to Beaumont, TX. Along the way we stopped in Webster, TX to meet and hang out with fellow heart transplant recipient, Sarah. Mike and Sarah discussed their incredible experiences over the last couple of years.

Mike, Seton, Merae and I met up with Jess and Mike. Mike and Jess have been traveling in a van for over 2 years. They converted their Sprinter into their home on wheels. We combined our separate adventures into one. Mike, Mike, Merae and Seton rode their bikes from Webster, TX to Winnie, TX. While Jess and I drove ahead to scout the route. After 20 miles Jess went ahead to Bolivar Peninsula to set up camp to stay the night on the beach. So we all stayed the night on the beach in our homes on wheels.

The last three days we have traveled over 100 miles, with each passing mile it seems we are experiencing a new adventure.
