smiles 0 #1 November 26, 2004 I am mulling over simplifying my life- possibly selling my home... I'm at an interesting time in my life right now, and luv the idea of pursuing change. I don't do boring. I could jump in a motorhome and spend months and months travelling even around my own province (B.C.) poking into all the hidden nooks and crannies, just deciding day by day what to do and where to go next?? Could I do that? Strip everything down to the bare essentials and go? (So easy when going to a dz) A large part of me screams "yes--go for it"....the other part of me just covers her eyes and ears. Extremely, stripped down and simple. Maybe a modern prefab for a home. Think Japanesque contemporary ranch house or modern California bungalow; don't think mobile home.??

justaflygirl 0 #2 November 26, 2004 what your wanting to do has been a dream of mine for awhile, one that I cant pursue for at least another 16 years (kids), I'd say, if you have the means to do it, go for it. Life is short, live it to the fullest extent... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowbird 0 #4 November 26, 2004 Do it do it do it! Seriously, more than once I've thought about doing exactly that. We did do a massive downsize 2 years ago, and that was exactly what we needed. But I'd love to spend a year traveling. And you're right, a person could travel BC for months on end If you have the means and desire, do it! Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
