Happy New Year! Both Deb & I hope it's the best year for you; one filled with love, happiness and good journeys.
As I look back on the past year it is amazing how drastically our lives have changed. One year ago today we were co-managing a 40 room resort in Hollywood, FL and had no idea we would be parked at the Flower Mill RV Park in Greenville, SC today. The best decision we made over those months was to jump into the full-time RV lifestyle. It has brought peace, joy and unexpected discoveries.
I am either growing more cynical or wiser with each New Year Day, but I've given up on resolutions; they just seem to be goals most people undertake that set themselves up for self-defeat. The one thing I have absolutely learned over the past six months is that each day is a new beginning. Why dedicate only one day each year to make resolutions towards being a better person when everyone has the freedom to do that each and every day?
Who knows what the year ahead will bring. All we can strive for is to not miss the blessings along the way and be willing to embrace whatever may come to the fullest potential. To paraphrase motorcycle racer Bill McKenna: Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out and proclaiming, WOW, WHAT A RIDE!!!
