We’re on Life!

Airbnb in Fresno, CA
Sitting in our Airbnb room in Fresno, California, working on our laptops, Nick & I overhear our host telling her visitor/friend about us (we’re her first Airbnb guests!). “They are on vacation.” She says.

Nick smiles and turns to me repeating her words : “We’re on vacation.” He lets out a restrained, soft laugh then corrects the statement “We’re on Life!”
My goodness, our life is an indefinite vacation!
I can’t tell you how many times over the past few months where we couldn’t guess what day of the week it was or what day of the month it was. This is a true sign we’re doing what Nick & I were discussing in our Frisco, Texas apartment a year ago. No more work days or work hours. No more schedules. What would that feel like, we wondered.
And now we’re living it!
Not only do we not have a timely concept of days and dates, we have been proven to be oblivious of holidays as well. We were asked “What are you doing for Thanksgiving?” Nick & I looked at each other scrambling for an answer.
Thanksgiving?
Already?
When is it?
- This Thursday.

Even their answer didn’t help us, because we didn’t realize that “this Thursday” was after tomorrow. Huh! We totally forgot to factor in Thanksgiving. We’d be travelling that day. Never considered Thanksgiving when we planned it.


But truly… it doesn’t matter.

My daughters reached out to me on my birthday. Nick & I were in transit; leaving New Mexico towards Arizona. They wanted to make sure I had a special day. Sitting in the car watching the desert and mountains roll by, I thought to myself: “Everyday is a special day. Everyday holds something new.” I guess when everyday is awesome - when every day is a day of giving thanks - nothing more needs to be planned.

How can one improve on wonderful?!

It can get worse. It can get better.

A good friend of mine reached out to me with the following: "My favorite massage teacher in the whole world used to say, "If it can get worse, it can get better." and I want to hear your story about that." This is where my understanding is at the moment: How we see a situation is based on our judgment of it. And, whether we know it or not, we’re always judging. Consequently, we give a situation a path to a certain outcome based on the energy we give it with our judgment. So, if we see a situation as bad, then we give it permission and momentum to develop in that direction. And if we see a situation as a doorway to better possibilities, then our thoughts direct creative energy to the situation; guiding it to evolve in the direction of our beliefs. Over the last few years a creed developed for me that still stands unchallenged by my experiences. A set of three “rules”. The first two don’t pertain to the topic at hand, but the third is:
