everything goes!

When I first started the title of this blog I thought the title would be "selling it all!", but then after I looked at it and realized that when people have been coming to our moving sale they ask what's available and I tell them everyTHING! So the "everything goes" seems more pertinent. There are only a handful of clothes we are keeping since we are starting out in just our car, before we head to Oklahoma to get our bus that's been in storage for 6 mos. I have such a liberating feeling when I get rid of all the stuff that ties us down. I guess there is some gypsy blood in me somewhere. I look back on my first thoughts of what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I lived in Turkey from the age of 7-9 and seeing all the gypsy caravan with their camels and KNEW and SAID "that's what I want to do when I grow up". Guess what?? I have lived up to that endeavor for the most of my life and not realized it til now?! DUH! I keep trying to form my life in some typical pre-made box that most of society lives in and it never "feels right", like I feel trapped, weighted down, suffocated and before I know it..... I bail! That leaves the people I'm around, feeling like I've abandoned them. That's not the case, I stay in touch. I can even be in a place for about 6-7 mos before moving on. But here I am 40'ish and just figuring this out for myself. I always thought the "normal" life is what I wanted, and that it wasn't my choice when I was younger being moved around all the time for the military, then when I was in the military myself I just continued what I was familiar with. I said, well when I get out I will settle down somewhere, and have a normal life. Well all these years have been a slow journey to my realization that there is no such thing as "normal". I AM NORMAL, for me. I just need to be me, and be more free than the majority of people. I love traveling, either driving or flying, (never been on a train), love seeing new places, meeting new people, not seeing the same ones over and over, day in and day out. That is absolutely boring & mundane to me and makes me crazy. Soooooo here I am leaving again and instead of saying I am getting rid of all the things that others feel as a secure thing, I am headed out on an adventure that many before me have taken, it IS a road less traveled but the excitement of it all is what I crave! My hopes and dreams are becoming a reality-----so EVERYTHING GOES!!!!
