LINDA AND STUART AT NO FIXED ADDRESS

Linda and Stuart retired from the BC Forest Service at the end of June 2009. They decided to sell their home in Kamloops, buy a new 38ft Bighorn 5th wheel and a Dodge diesel 3500 and go on the road with No Fixed Address.

TODAY IS A GIFT

Jan 17/10

Another week has quickly gone by and it was a good one in so many ways.  The weather was really mild with some rain and all the snow is long gone.  We’ve walked to 4 out of 5 of my appointments and have enjoyed having a purpose for our exercise.  The treatments are going well and I’m not having any side effects at all.  We are still meeting new people there most days and seeing a few regulars as well.

We went out to our trailer that we’re storing in Winfield to do a quick check up and pick up a few things.  The yard that it’s in was a bit muddy as the snow had just melted and we’re hoping that it will be drier when it’s time to tow it out of there.  It was a nostalgic feeling to go inside and remember that it is our “true” home and we will be very happy when it’s time to return to that lifestyle.

However, we are learning how to really live in the present and focus on what is happening now.  Each day offers new experiences and appreciating “the now” is so much more enjoyable than reminiscing about the past or anticipating a future that is unknowable.

Yesterday is history.  Tomorrow is a mystery.  And today?  
Today is a gift.  That's why we call it the present.  ~Babatunde Olatunji

We treated ourselves to a movie this weekend and saw “Avatar” in 3D.  It was an amazing visual extravaganza with a decent story line that kept your attention the whole time.  We would highly recommend it.
