Going for it!

Making our decision to travel in the motor home has been a dream for a long time and we have been most anxious to pursue that dream. Unfortunately time waits for no one. We have lost many friends over the years and it always seems too early when as soon as one retires something terrible happens. Sadly, we are suddenly again aware of how short our individual time can be. These past weeks and days have been spent hoping and praying that one of our friends (just 60 years old) would survive a septsis infection that hit out of the blue. Jim, our son’s father in law and a friend, has now passed and provides us with another of many instances that confirm that you must pursue your dreams as soon as you can and not to waste time. He was a fine man and good grandfather and husband among other things, but most of all he was too young to leave. He was a special man that many loved and appreciated. We will miss him. This happening is one more instance that confirms to us that you do have to pursue those dreams that you have put off for whatever reasons…before you can’t. In 25 days we leave for the beginning of our travels ….Don’t put off yours!
