Hey everyone
I just want to say that I have never been on a forum before and if I offend anyone with my comments, I can assure you it's not intentional. I'm a really passive person.
Good grief, it's just been recently that I've started learning to navigate a computer. I guess I am one who really has been living under a rock.
A series of unfortunate events over the last 10 years has put me in a reclusive state of mind and being. I (think?) I'm ready now to get on with my life. There is a line in the Shawshank Redemption movie that comes to mind ,which is, "get busy living or get busy dying" Getting busy living is on my mind!
I came to Cheaprvliving.com by accident, (I didn't know what I was doing in the first place on the computer)and something inside of me just new that this was the way I wanted to live. So, for about 2yrs now I've been trying to be brave enough to step outside of my comfort zone. Last week, I finally took that step and have now been living out of my truck for 1 week.
This is hard stuff you guys! But I am determined to give this all I've got, and then some. I'm no quitter!
My first week went like this, 1. poured sheets of rain for days and everything got soaked 2. Locked keys, purse, phone in truck when I went to the bathroom while pouring rain at 4:30am. Had to walk 1/4 mile to a store in my jammers and flip flops to call police to unlock my truck 3.Numerous other things not to go into right now.
I love love love people, especially the elderly and little children. It's the exuberance of little ones that keep me feeling youthful and the wisdom of the elders that keeps my mind in check by challenging me with their years of knowledge. I will fight to the death for anyone of these little ones or elders. Anyone harming someone as vulnerable as these had better watch out if I'm around.
I am working, and have been, for a couple in there 80's that are stroke victims for the last 5 1/2 yrs. I have worked in hospice care for many years in the past and have never found a more rewarding line of work since. Hard on the heart, but rewarding. I am also a neuromuscular massage therapist, although I have not practiced since I graduated.( another long story )
Anyway...., my plan is to work here for a few more weeks and then head out to the RTR. I hope to meet some of you there and get some ideas about this new lifestyle I'm undertaking because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
I'm scared you guys, really scared! I am sort of shy, my confidence is as low as it can go, and I don't do well around large groups. I am looking forward to watching and learning from the pro's. Please be patient with me while I get adjusted to all this newness.
That's it ! Thought I would do some sharing. Don't know why, but there it is. Blessings to All !!!
