The Beginnings of "The Master Plan"

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post called, "Shall I stay or shall I go?"  I ask readers what were the most important things that contributed to their decision to become a full timer.  Thank-you to all the readers who contributed their thoughts and ideas.  I so appreciate  the opportunity to learn from your experience. The answers have given me fodder for much thought.  Next March is Social Security Day, (SS) Day.  That is one Birthday I look forward to celebrating.  It certainly is time to get all the ducks in order.  So here is the beginning of The Master Plan....

•  Make a list of accumulated material possessions and determine action needed.  This includes animals, vehicles, all possessions from a barn, tack room, garage and 5 bedroom house.  
•  Follow many RV blogs gleaning from writers information needed to make wise decisions regarding preparations for travel. 
• Continue Financial planning for SS Day in 10 months.
• Pay down all debt
• Travel in the local area extensively including 'alone' travel to get a feel for solo travel
•  Make re-connections with significant people of my life  and spend quality time together.
•  Make preparations for House Sale - Make updates and clutter removal
•  Make preparations for Home of Record, Insurance, Storage of Important Papers and Family Items
• Make Dream List -  Where and When to go
• Determine D Day
• Live every day fully..... Enjoy every moment!

Given that I am generally a spontaneous person, extensive planning is not my first nature.  It will require a great deal of self-discipline (which I often lack) to expand the above list to the detailed action steps  accomplishing  these activities.

Probably one of the greatest gifts to myself will be the  realization that this will be a learning process... one in which I must be face my fears, free to learn, and shift direction to where the process takes me. I shall wear flexibility as my new purple cloak.


Thought for the Day 

First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality.  The beginning, as you will observe is in  the imagination.
