We have arrived in Michigan after spending several quiet days in Indiana. We are at a KOA near Ann Arbor that sits on a lovely lake. It’s a nice campground and the weather continues to be pleasant. We are enjoying being able to keep our windows open and not use the air conditioning.
I’ve been catching up on some reading and finished a book a couple of days ago called, Your Perfect Year by Charlotte Lucas. I won’t to tell you about in case you want to read it but it was an enjoyable read. In the book she has many quotes and one struck me more than the others.
“You can’t give your life more days, but you can give your days more life.” Anonymous proverb
That’s what we’re doing out here on the road, taking risks, being brave and bringing life to our days. We could have stayed in Washington, kept working, kept doing the same thing. But life is short my friends. We need to live it and live it well. I don’t want to look back in 10 years and think what if. I’m choosing to think what if I don’t….right now.
It’s sure to be an interesting few days, as most of our days our. Samantha escaped from the truck again today and interestingly she tried to find a way into the 5th wheel. We had just unhooked and nothing was open yet. Tom picked her up within a short time. The cats do no like the truck and I can’t say that I blame them. Our American highways are not in good shape and the roads are often rough. But they have adjusted to our new living arrangements after spending all of their lives in the parsonage.
It was a good day and I’m happy our journey continues. I hope your journey today was a good one too.
