Wow is it 2009 already?
Happy belated New Year everyone! Towards the end of 2008 it had become almost impossible for me to even think anymore of going shopping for anything. Seriously with all those thousands of lay-offs we hear about every day on the News and in some cases even experience our-selves it is no wonder that shopping in many ways is the last thing on our mind.
Then came the entire Christmas / Winter Holiday Season and poof there went what little money we had left over. I would say it is fair to mention that we all are probably more in debt after those days of cheer and giving then before. So I canned the day dreaming for a while, but now that I am working hard on recouping what went out and making the extra Bill money that is so sorely needed, I find myself drifting off to "Dream World" more and more often again.
As always, finding the perfect bargain, going on that elusive Vacation is right there on my mind. Of course that is easier said then done now isn't it.
An actual dream I have been harboring for quiet a while now is purchasing a Motorhome and going on the Road with it. Oh not traveling everyday, but finding good places to live for a few month to a Year and exploring the lovely United States that way. Trying to make my income with writing among many other venues has made me realize one thing, if you stay too long in the same place, doing the same thing everyday your creative juices will run dry.
For almost 2 Weeks now I have started writing one article after the other only to set it back down and throw my hands up. Blogging seems easier, but then I can just give my own opinion on things isn't it? Not particularly challenging, but hopefully entertaining to an extend.
So today's dream purchase is my NEW RV! Oh if I didn't see the sweetest RV right before the Holidays too. A nice 2008 Model brand new and reduced in Price. I am drooling even thinking about it. It would have been the perfect little nest to travel in for my honey and me, but even at the low Price Tag of $69,900 (Reduced down from $120,000) it was way out of our reach. For Weeks I crunched Numbers, did figures, hoped against hope that somewhere a Miracle would happen. Well I am still where I always have been, right here in Sin City Las Vegas and getting out of here in my very own new RV doesn't seem any closer to becoming a reality then it had been only a few month ago.
But let me dream, just for a few moments longer. I can almost imagine signing the Paperwork and putting the money down for it. Reducing my clutter and deciding what is the most important of my Stuff I really want to keep. Selling the rest or giving it away. Then comes the planning, where to go first? I would like to follow the Lincoln Highway and see where it takes me. Just think of all the historical places I could find. All the Material for writing! Oh joy, pleasure and dare I say it Adventure? Just the thought of being free and being able to move is invigorating.
Have you ever noticed that even just dreaming can make you happy? I know I feel so much better already. Will I get my dream? Not likely, but impossible? NEVER!!!
