Life

It doesn't have to be a day in and day out repetitive kind of daily routine you know. You can make it anything you want it to be. Of course a majority of us have to go to work and work 9-5 in order to get by in this crazy world, but that is because that is what society makes us do.

We have to have a decent amount of money if we want a nice house, with a yard and adult toys like boats and campers, kayaks and the such. But do we really need it all?

I am sitting here at a gorgeous house dog and house sitting for some people that I really like. Their house is absolutely beautiful and the backyard is gigantic with a nice porch, patio, tons of space for the dogs to run and kids to play. There are neighbors but you barely ever hear or see them. I sit out on their deck and look around.

Green everywhere, the soft wind making its way through the hundred of trees that surround the lot, birds soaring overhead with no inkling of what goes on down here and of course the dogs who sit by my feet wanting some pizza that I am stuffing my face with lol.

All of this brings me to what the hell do I want???? I can't be alone in that question about life right?

There are days a want another house (i had one and sold it to travel), some days i want a house boat or a tiny house. Shit I want a boat, kayak, motorcycle, house, RV/Motorhome......I want it all....I think? But that means I work my ass off and don't really get to enjoy the things that I get to buy, most of the time at least.

Maybe a house on or close to the water, with a small boat would suffice? Oh hell, I have no idea.

There are the things that go through my head all the time and it drives me nuts. I want to travel and experience more of what this world has to offer. Check out different cultures even though it makes me uneasy because it is new. Discover places that most people will never get to because they are tied to down to things that I don't want (at least not right now). And in doing so, I get to share it with anyone and everyone who cares about or is interested enough about it to read or talk about it.

The life style I lead right now is fairly lonely, but that is the choice that I have to make. Stay put and settle down??? Keep traveling and exploring? I have stayed put for most of my life, and have yet to come across anyone whom I would consider settling down with. Most of the time I am single because people don't give me a chance or I am not interested in them. So why continue to stay in one place when nothing has changed in almost 12 years and i had to throw a big wrench in it to make the changes i actually wanted.

You should love what you do, and that is what should drive you, at least in my own opinion. Too many of us do things just to get paid so we can acquire more materialist things, but is that what makes us happy? Most times no, because the newness wears off and we are left with just another "thing". Traveling allows us to keep a hold of the experiences and talk or write about it, capture our moments in pictures to share with others and do it over and over again meeting new people along the way and learning as we go. I am not sure traveling is something I could ever get bored with. I did get bored with my house, even though i loved it because I put my heart and sole into it.

Well, one day at a time....that is what I have to keep telling myself. All in due time :)

I am off to hike and camp alone in the middle of the Grand Canyon on Tuesday, so this is a first for me and kind of scary, but bring it on!

Till next time...
