It took a lot to convince my life partner that we should do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our two boys, now settled in their own lives and families, had took up residence many miles from the old home stomping grounds, and therefore the decision was somewhat easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Off we went, wheeling that beautiful Motor Home all over the North American Continent, Canada, and Mexico.  A different backyard on any day that we decided to move, as for the most part we followed that perfect temperature of 72 degree&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t even conceive of recanting all the beautiful adventures we had.  It would take up someone&#8217;s entire computer memory if I were to post every back yard we were so lucky to witness.  The friends we made and then catalogued while hoping that our paths one day would cross again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now with all that behind us.  The RV sitting on the second of consignment lots, still unsold, and we seemingly in limbo residing in a place that keeps us comfortable, warm, dry and very bored, and wondering === should we have followed a different dream?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am hoping that second guessing myself at this stage of my life is normal and that trying to figure out what a different dream would have looked like is OK.  Thinking it through, I do believe the choice of dream to follow was correct, as I have only, through memory breached the very beginning.  As each past chapter tip toes through my brain, I sometimes see myself sitting in that beach chair, with margarita in hand, on some south sea island, watching my life partner frolicking in the wash of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dreams are worth having, aren&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been thinking a lot lately about if I could do it all again would I do it the same or would I have perhaps been better off following a different dream?
