ten years


Ten years ago I was standing on a beach in Venice, Florida near my home.  Life was very different for me then.  I had an active life.  I did a lot of yard work (including mowing the lawn) and I looked after my father.  After he passed away in 2008 I continued to stay busy and added some volunteer work to my schedule.  An amazing offer came my way in 2014 and I sold my house, downsized my "stuff" into storage and hit the road.  I have been traveling ever since and I love it.  I drive wherever I want to and I have done a lot of sightseeing, especially in the National Parks.  I have been able to visit with family and friends and I have been able to help out with the grandkids that have arrived in the last seven years.  I haven't found the place where I would like to settle next but, then again, I haven't looked either.  I have always felt like I was born with Spring Fever in my blood.  I'm sort of restless.  I'm curious about what's around the corner.  That curiosity keeps me going.  I don't know where this journey will take me but look where I've been.  And, this is just a ten year slice of my life.
