I get my inspiration, most times, from the synchronicity of the Internet. How to I do that? This morning I found inspiration from one of my fellow blogger's post. He included a video from George Carlin. Naturally, I searched for the video below. It kind of puts things in perspective This video is from 1986. I thought it was funny then. I think it's very pertinent now.
with my stuff. I do know that I want to rid my life of unnecessary complications. A home on wheels does have its own complications, but is much simpler to maintain than the four bedroom, two bath monstrosity that I live in now. Let's not forget the advantage of being able to choose your scenery, your weather, and most importantly, your neighbors. I got a phone call this morning from a lady friend. I have known her for quite some time but haven't talked to her for a good while. When she asked what I was up to, I think I surprised her with my plans. She gave me some advice, though. She said "You need to buy yourself a smaller house so you have a place to live when you're not traveling". I don't think she really perceives the idea of full-time RV living. In my case, being free from the burden of taxes, maintenance, and the responsibility of a permanent structure is one of the perks of the full-timer RV lifestyle.
To be perfectly honest, I'm just a little bit overwhelmed. I do think in my situation, being a little overwhelmed is perfectly normal. I'm making a drastic lifestyle change, but I'm not entering into it lightly. Every day seems to hold its own challenge. I am just going to keep on marching towards my dream. Taking it one step at a time and one day at a time. I don't want to make any jerky moves. Because soon, I know I will be OTD (out the door) and DTR (down the road).
Thanks for stopping by.

Actually I am LMAO at George, and myself. But now I have a list, a mathematical formula, and an inspiring video to help me deal with my STUFF.

No worries man, not many people understand the lifestyle that don't have the bug to do it themselves :) I just found your blog and noticed your mention of an old Harley. What do ya have? I am missing mine! I sold both of them in the last few years after I got married. I didn't want to trailer them behind the van. Now I am thinking I may have to build up another and keep it at my Dad's place maybe. I shoulda kept one! Glad to find your blog!

Thanks ~~Mike~~. I think most people know about our lifestyle, but can't see themselves actually letting go to live this way. I have read your blog. I got in when you were putting in the cork floor. Awesome.
