Why does Mondays always seen so blah. Today we awaken to crisp cool temps in the thirties. I am flat out chilled to the bone. It's just the beginning of what I am sure is going to be a long, long winter.
On a happy note, it's nice to dream and plan, so maybe we'll only have this winter and part of next to put up with the snow and cold. Larry and I hope, when he retires to head to warmer weather. We actually never thought we'd be "one of them" who pack up and leave their home in the winter but now that we are older and our bones hurt so bad, we understand so well why some hit the road. We actually have lots of friends in different areas of the south that we can enjoy visiting as we pass through.
It's fun to plan and dream. Where would we be without being allowed to do that. Larry and I though, know that if we truly want something and set a goal, with the support and encouragement of each other, we can reach it. Look at our home here on the hill. We had a five year plan and made all we wanted a reality in that short time. So we have sat a new goal. Giving ourselves this time a year and half to achieve. These plans will call for some major lifestyle changes and some big time changes when the time is up. It's exciting and scary all at the same time.
There comes a time in your life when you realize there is nothing to hold you back. That some things just truly don't matter and all that should matter is that you're happy and doing what you want. Once you've realized that the biggest step is made. Then you just say "this is what we want" and make the plans. That's the fun part.
Larry has always wanted to travel out west. He wants to see the big old open plains and me I just want to see the grand canyon. I want to visit my nephew in North Dakota, maybe a friend we have in Nevada, visit Yellowstone National Park. So much to see and do. It will be a dream to me to travel and blog and share our travels on Facebook and continue my little column with a new twist to it.
