IS there a way for you to have both? Travel when you want, then home to plan your next trip. Good luck with the decisions, change is never easy.

You've proved that many times, and i know it just from reading your blog for a few years. It is scary to do what you are trying to do, but you know you can get through it, one day at a time. There are things I got rid of and really missed a few years later when I sold my RV and moved into an apartment, but there isn't anything you can't deal with, one day at a time. Been there, done that, and you can too. Good luck.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562318.post-65456119904292917682016-05-29T07:17:04.262-07:002016-05-29T07:17:04.262-07:00About 2 years ago I downsized from a10-room house,...About 2 years ago I downsized from a10-room house,(with 2 storerooms) to a 1-bedroom with a tiny, TINY kitchen and no storerooms. I pre-planned by deciding what I needed and what I really, really wanted to keep. Then I started giving away, donating, throwing away and generally wiping out 40 years accumulation of "things". I love it. Every now and then I have a little tug at my heart about something I got rid of. But, I would do it again in a heartbeat. As long as I have my computer, iPad, books (digital), photos (digital) and a few other small things, I'm in perfect shape and, as you pointed out, free. You just can't look back.Pudge450https://www.blogger.com/profile/13096161371562249151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562318.post-83687590685360944302016-05-29T04:33:40.821-07:002016-05-29T04:33:40.821-07:00Good luck with your decisions, we wanted to fullti...Good luck with your decisions, we wanted to fulltime and in order to do it we had to get rid of our "stuff" and not pay storage.

I for one work at my best with a deadline. Somehow goals are not enough to get it done for me. Be gentle with yourself. My vicious cycle starts with full blown worst case worries about 3:O0AM.

It may take effort but there are solutions that are often unseen, especially at 3:00 AM. Keep Moving forward.... Even if it is in spurts and sputters.

If you decide it is not for you in 2 or 3 months, you should be able to sell the RV for more than what you paid because of the repairs you have made.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of cutting off my options. It will cost you the space rent and utilities, but instead of making an irreversible decision, you will have more time and experience to decide what works best for you.<br /><br />In your shoes, I would also consider your mother and her needs over the next year. I would probably take some shorter trips in the RV closer to home in case I was needed in Payson.<br /><br />If you think you make improperly reasoned decisions, give yourself more time and the option to back out of this one if it is the wrong decision.Another Readernoreply@blogger.com
