Now is the time! I’m finally on my way by the end of August.
I’ve given notice at my mobile home park and divested myself of nearly
everything (excluding my car and RV, which are currently for sale). Except for what
will fit in three bags and a backpack. The little grouping below will be my
home.
It’s hard to believe as I look at the picture above that
these meager vessels and their contents will be everything I own in less than a
month. Like a turtle, I’ll carry my home on my back (well, figuratively at
least). This evening I’m conducting a trial run on the scheme – packing away
all my possessions except the clothes and things necessary for survival over
the next few weeks.
It’s a busy time. I’ve got to sell both vehicle and home,
finish up my final little chores like getting a post office box, closing
accounts and selling a few pieces of jewelry that I’ll never wear again.
If I’m honest, and I always strive to be, I’m a little
scared now that the event is literally weeks away. But I think that’s natural
and the excitement of the upcoming adventure far outweighs the trepidation.
I’ve more to write before I go. So stay tuned.
