Changes in the Wind

Life seems for me to be full of twists and turns.


It has been four months since I embarked on my journey traveling full time.
My journey has been everything I have ever dreamed of...


Except it has not been long enough ..... nor have I traveled far enough.

I experienced incredible anticipation for what would unfold in each and every day.




I have experienced sunrises and sunsets that so moved me they have taken my breath away and leaving me wordless....
And humbled...



I've met new friends and felt as if I had known them forever.  The bonds formed with those who live  and love to wander seems instant and deep.

 I have challenged myself and grown.


When I started this journey this quote became one of my inspirations....


I worked hard to make my dreams come true and my dreams have become reality.  But life is a changing adventure and I find myself adjusting to a new reality.  So I am working on plans that encompass all that I love.  And I promise that it will still be filled with adventure. 
 

When I first got the telephone call from home that would alter my life, this posted on my Facebook....


I'M not laughing

But I embracing the changes in my life

One quote that I have pondered at many points in my life is a quote by Helen Keller



The words seem unfinished....  until now.

My understanding of these words for today tell me life is unfinished... I can choose to make it a great adventure in many, many ways.  It may not always be how I would like, but the choice for me is to live life fully....every single day.   

How it plays out is up to me.  

While my journey takes me in along a fork in the road I will be living in a three generational household with people you have grown to know as well.  My Auntie, Granddaughter and I are busy reorganizing a house to fit our needs and lives.   

Life continues to be full of adventure. 



I can't wait to see the next installment of .... AS THE WORLD TURNS.

  1. You bend and adjust and find the "new" sustainable way... or the wind blows you down. You take care of yourself as well. Your ~Self~ is of as great an importance as anyone else.

    Those who want and need that help from you must come to realize that you as well must be cared for.

    The troubles always find an end and tomorrow is another day.

  7. The photo's will enlarge with a single click left click. If there is something I can do that will let me enlarge them further let me know. By keeping them the medium size on the blog it allows them to load faster for those with limited band width on the road.
