I’m sure I’ve posted this pic before – but this is part of my dream, just in a smaller vehicle than these:
I am so incredibly blessed right now. (OK, those who know me well, know I could easily rant at any moment – especially about South Florida drivers on the interstates crossing four lanes in a beeline for the exit.)
But, our niece whom we had the pleasure of raising for five years of her young life just had a healthy baby boy, we got to see a picture and we both got to speak with her and the baby’s father today. YAY!
But, this is about dreams. I never dreamed much as a child, content to read a book, go swimming, learn cool things in school – long enough to pass the test. I was so shy – and watched my parents everyday life push dreams right out of them, they were just trying to survive – but at the same time they enjoyed what they did have! So, possibilities in life seemed foreign to me, really.
As an adult I lived some dreams, but they just came on their own, more or less: managed to snag the man who would turn out to be my soulmate, talked him into having our son (grin), finally decided to try college, and had the pleasure of a temporary ‘daughter’.
Moving to Washington state for those three years was probably the biggest dream that I dared dream or that we actively pursued – we helped make it happen. The dream to own an RV came slowly, we tiptoed around it. Again, it partially came on its own, but we made the decisions that allowed it – and then we took a risk or two. And next week the transaction will be complete. We have more dreams to make happen. But, now, they seem less intimidating and more accessible.
I never dared dream as a child or teenager, but found that if you dare, the Universe may just help you a bit… but you have to go for it. You have to!
Oh, and for the record, the most time we have spent in an RV is driving it for the test drive recently, lol.
Congratulations! I’m happy for your to have this dream come to be! I have friends that spent a year together, in an RV following the spring. They did a circle from Toronto down to the Southern States to the west coast up to Alaska and around and around. He fly-fished, she hiked, wrote and lost weight. They spent weeks when it was only the two of them. They were also in the process of repairing their marriage, which I know isn’t your case. The togetherness worked for them.
Keep building dreams. Helps you to stay young
Oh thanks, Chris! That is a great story. So exciting they took the time to repair. I plan on staying young at heart – and as young as possible physically!
