Another June Another Year Older

Share this post on:

Well, another June has come around and I will be another year older in a few days. Doesn’t seem like I have accomplished as much as I would have liked to have done by this time in my life. I think most of us feel that way once we have passed the half-century mark. We haven’t finished visiting every single one of the Florida State Parks nor been able to camp in all the ones with RV camping spots yet. I haven’t been able to finish the three other books I have been researching for the last year nor have we been able to build up our handmade crafts business up enough to help support our traveling habit. Of course, the fact that we have a blown engine in the RV and don’t have $5,000 to get back on the road may have a little bit to do with some of these.

I still like to be able to get a writing schedule going for my websites and the books worked out over the next couple of months as well as figure out a way to get more people to buy our handmade items on a more regular basis. We have been at our current workamping position since last September and they have graciously stated that we could stay as long as we needed to. Don’t get me wrong it is a great position, a very nice park to live in and the work is not hard at all. They give us time off when we ask and we have been slowly exploring the area. As with most people money is very tight all the time. Instead of stressing I think I will just start a Bucket List for myself and try to start knocking things off right away. You cannot accomplish anything until you actually put some things down in writing to be done.
