This past 12 or so months has been a dooozie. Fear, challenges, new ways of meeting our needs and keeping in touch. As a sometimer in our Airstream we have limited our travels to family only and on an as needed basis. What this has done is allow us to be more clear about what we want to see and do as we get back to balance in our lives.
We did pare down “stuff” in our rig. We learned that less is really more. Well, we started to pay attention to how we traveled and what we really used. We had to re-think what we want to achieve while we travel. It has taken along time to drop the 9-5, M-F mindset and let go. I gave myself permission to enjoy the present, our life, what we really needed to grab the good and let go of the unnecessary that we no longer have responsibility for.
We lost our lovely little Kona doggie, she was blind, tired and sad. We missed her so very much. Her brother died 3 years ago and now she is gone too. Now we could travel without the worry of our puppies. It was lonely and in a weak moment we found 2 puppies to learn and journey with us. We have traveled in our other rigs with puppies for 13 years. We had a 6 month respite and now we are 4.
We are now embarking on a solid “Sometimer” attitude to explore. Have a trainer to help guide us with the puppies, new maps and ideas on how to travel more enjoyably, a slower pace and eyes to see more than just the highway. The “Ah ha” moments lead us everywhere and now I will begin our new journey with new outlooks that COVID-19 has shaped:
1- More awareness that many people do not understand nor appreciate what we have in this great nation. Take care of her and her gifts to us. How? Be kind to the environment, be kind to each other and respect each others differences
2- Be open to learn new ways to meet challenges
3- Help each other in simple ways
