Hello All. I have been out of the loop so to speak for about 2 months as I have been camping in the woods! Different woods from time to time, but deep in the forests of Mother Earth none the less. I have studied, meditated, learned, felt inner peace, and stayed out of the mundane world as much as I could.I have found that their is little that I truly need to be happy. A roof over my head, food & water, quiet, and an adequate bathroom have done wonders for my soul!
It seems at times that we go through life having a "need" for "things". As a matter of fact, I have an entire house FULL of things. As I have come home, I've taken a good look at all the "things" I have and, I have to wonder. What am I doing with all this CRAP?!?
I have to spend time Cleaning it, moving it, dusting it, storing it, and mostly it's in the darn way! So, in order to bring home and keep this simple peace that I have, I have decided to clear out the majority of this stuff that I haven't used in more than 6 years.
I figure I can send things to different folks who like some of them, throw out what is broken, used, or just in general disrepair, and donate the rest to the neighborhood thrift store.
Also, I have found a wonderful spot to permanently park my camper, so I have been fixing up my campsite. I got a set of those cute awning lights, martini glasses of all things. Put down a 12x14 indoor/outdoor green carpet edged with beautiful belgium stones. Even stoned and edged the fire-pit so it looks nice.
It's turned into what I call my "Little House" where i can go and have peace whenever I need to back in nature, and still be only about 20 min from home. And a perk?... it's only 20 feet long and I can clean it from top to bottom in less that 30 minutes! Oh, and it has it's own flushy! No more porta-johns! Woo-Hoo! Yes, I am hooked up to power, water, sewer, my internet is portable through verizon, and they have a swimming & fishing pond, as well as putt-putt, and a tiny store for the necessities. It is very cheap to "live" here, all the above are included for a lower price per month than my weekly grocery bill!
I decided to slow down the traveling as I am a bit creaky after having had multiple surgeries. I will still visit by car to the homes of my beloved friends... most of whom live out of state. Those visits I will be arranging for September and October.
But for now, I am still camping. Swimming and studying in the day, having my fires in the evening, roasting marshmallows, and simply enjoying myself!
Take Care my Luvs!
