Just Another Bend In Journey of Life

12:34It seems that every day as I sit at my desk at work and I look at either the clock on the phone or on my computer, it's 12:34. Isn't that odd? Now this is something that I've noticed for a while now. In fact I was driving with my cousin a few months back, possibly even last fall, and looked at the clock in her van and it was 12:34. Pure coincidence? I'm not really sure. It's just weird. I mean, why don't I take note when it's 11:59 or some other odd time? Nope, always 12:34. Maybe I should start playing the lotto. Maybe it's a sign?! :)
Last night I was surfing myspace and found a few people that I used to work at the airline with. I sent them messages and actually heard back from one already. She was an Inflight Supervisor with me. Beautiful girl!!! She just had a baby boy. She'd been married previously, had a daughter and was divorced while we were working together and then met the man of her dreams. I can't rememeber what she always referred to him as. Big Mike I think. He was like 7' tall. Ok, I'm exaggerating but he was really tall... Anyway, they now have a baby boy and she looks good as ever. I tell ya, I really miss those days. I think about it every single day. I remember getting up for work and dreading having to go in, before I was pregnant and still able to fly. Then I'd get there, get ready to go on the plane and remember that I had the absolute coolest job in the world without a doubt! Especially the early morning and late night flights. To be able to take off and go above the clouds and watch the sun rise or set is just simply amazing. I have seen some of the best sunrises/sets in the world and met so many great friends in the process, both co-workers and passengers. There will never be a day in my life that I regret not jumping on the train and going to college right away. You can always further your education, you cannot always have a job like that. Well, not now in my shoes anyway. My daughter is too important to me. If I had stayed closer to her father I may have thought about keeping my job but I just wanted "out" and as far away from him as I could get. I will always have the memories...
