I’m torn.  Should I watch television programs and movies with RVers?  Not sure at this point.  On one hand, I learn a lot from them.  Lots of little notes-to-self come rushing out of the TV screen and plop themselves down in the depths of my brain.  I hope access to these little gems will be granted when I actually need them!  But on the other hand, it’s depressing.  I wanna go now!  I keep telling myself that it’s the journey, not the destination, that I should cherish.  And I do.  I honestly do.  Sometimes though, I guess because I’m human, I get pangs of sadness and envy when watching the adventures of RVers.  Reminders to myself including phrases such as “undoing a life that took 30 years to create is hard work and cannot be accomplished in the blink of an eye” pass through my brain but sometimes they miss my heart.  Read the rest of this entry »
