living on the road is a lot of sacrifice and a lot of work and whoever does it is obviously willing to make the sacrifice, or they stop!…..while I have struggled recently with feeling lonely and lacking purpose, I love living on the road full-time, with all the sacrifice and all the work….. I have recently noticed feelings of conflict inside when others comment on how wonderful it is to live such a carefree life….they clearly haven’t done it!……I don’t want to burst their bubble, but this way of life is not for the faint of heart!….having to figure out every few days where to get water or dump tanks, unhooking and hooking up the travel trailer, stowing everything to prepare for travel days, reorganizing after travel due to things shifting from being bumped around by rough roads, shopping in unfamiliar stores, trying to find an organic farmer, or a store which carries the special dog food I get for the pups, or any other myriad things I need on the road, being away from people I know and have more than an acquaintance with, wondering where I am going to be parked for the night, is far from carefree….free of the cares of the “modern” stick and brick house life, yes…carefree, no….and yet soul-satisfying – seeing the beautiful vistas, and being in the woods, or on the beach, or outside at night and being able to see so many stars because artificial light doesn’t interfere, the fresh air, hearing the sounds of the insects and animals change throughout the day…..the freedom from the distraction of the modern life – that is not for the faint of heart, either….
on the road, again…..
