Goooood morning, Sunshine!!!

Okay, so a true test of how well my faithful reading audience of one or two people knows me, is when they read the title of this entry, did they think I was serious? To those of you who got the answer wrong and therefore received an F on this test--by the way, that will be the only exam given in this course and therefore count as 100% of your final grade for Shannon 101; hope you didn't botch it up--I am NOT a morning person, except with coffee in hand. I haven't had any yet, and so no matter how quiet and peaceful it is right now--and I love the quiet and peace at this early hour--I am still not a morning person. Perhaps you can just tell that by how much sense I am making in this entry here. I really don't know what my point is for this entry. I think I had one when I first when I first trekked on over here to my blog to write in it, but I have since forgotten in the space of about 10 minutes. I'm still not very much awake or alert yet. Which is all a roundabout way for me to get to my main points of this entry:

1. I am soooooo glad to be being paid to fly a plane finally!!! It's great up there! There is nothing like it.

2. I am going to give you a list of gripes and complaints before I am done. I told you that I am always able to find some crud behind the silver lining of any cloud. (Don't tell anyone, but in truth, I am really enjoying where I am at right now with job, life, etc. I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone by being too chipper and cheerful and without complaint.)

3. I just got done chatting with someone that I have been bad with online in the past. I am ashamed to admit such things to others, but being brutally honest about myself in some way(s) shape(s) or form(s) is one of the things that I think that helps us to become free of our past and our hangups, even though it is tremendously embarrassing at times. Again, I am sorry if it's TMI for some, but I simply must be honest and open here about who I am and the struggles I deal with. Now, the good thing is this conversation I just had with her was not a bad one. She was trying to get the conversation to degrade into sex talk and all, but I shared with her what God is doing in me, and that if we are going to keep in touch, we really must be encouraging each other in our walks with Christ.

4. It's amazing how many people online say we are christian, yet we behave as though we are not. I think it must be because of the perceived anonymity of it all. This wasn't one of my original points, but sort of something that just came to mind from point #3.

5. I miss everyone back home. I love my job, I am making good use of my time out here, but truthfully, I am counting the days until I get to come back home for good.

6. I only got 4 1/2 hours of sleep the night before and only about 6 this morning. I like it when I wake up just about 1-2 minutes before my alarm clock goes off. I hate it when I wake up (like I did this morning) an hour and 15 minutes before it's set to go off. Of course, if my internal alarm clock didn't wake me up when it did, I probably wouldn't be writing this. That may be a good thing or a bad thing.....but most likely it's more in the realm of neutral, trivial, or does not matter one way or the other. I like having the chance to write like this, on the other hand, when the NTSB writes their final report on why the pilot crashed his plane into the ground, they'll probably say if I had just one extra hour and 15 minutes of sleep, I would've been okay and everything would've been just fine. Sorry to scare anyone--that's just my morbid humor shining through. Don't worry, I flying am good to goo. My ahnd/eye coofdination is goodo thsi mroning. Alrrt and readyi to fly. But seriously folks, God goes with me in the plane and He'll bring me back. Just watch, you'll see another entry in here later, just to let you know everything is ooookay :)
