Those 70ish Girls

I had a New Year’s Eve birthday, and I’m now 72ish. Although that’s a big number, I can handle it. My life has gotten pretty exciting lately. Let me tell you why.

After all of our big talk about being just fine with living in an RV full-time, we chickened out. It was just fine until the idea caught up with the reality. As referenced above, we’re not getting any younger. There will come a time when RV travel gets too difficult to undertak, and then what? What if one of us has a health emergency? What if the RV maintenance is too much for my currently very capable Kip? We need a home base. BTW, I’ll also confess that giving up our previous home base has proven to be a costly decision. Oh, well.

We put an offer in on a little house, and it’s been accepted. Barring any unforseen circumstances, we should close by the end of the month.

We don’t have one stick of furniture or duplicates of anything. We are keeping the RV as we’re not ready to give up the ship yet.

So why is the title of this post harmony? Well, a friend of mine asked a group of us to come up with one word for 2024. Harmony was the word I chose.

Harmony in human beings refers to a state of balance, peace, and coherence within individuals. It involves the integration of various aspects of a person’s being, including their thoughts, emotions, values, and actions. (That’s what the dictionary says.)

Good word don’t you think?
