Connections

I just love my life on the road.  I have met so many people and made a lot of friends.  The Full Time RV world is really amazing.  I never feel alone at a campground, Walmart parking lot or even on the side of the road.  I am constantly meeting people.

The second campground I was in while in LA, within the first 5 minutes of being there, I met a couple.  They were curious about my rig and we had a great conversation.  They invited me to dinner that night and I really enjoyed their company.  They were around for a couple of days and I would talk to them when I got home from work for the day.  When they left they invited me to their home in San Diego.  This is an example of the connections I make on the road.

When I lived in one of those homes that doesn't move I isolated all the time.  I would go days without seeing another person.  I would also have extreme anxiety when I had to be around other people.  It is interesting on the road.  I had a lot of people who feared I was going on the road to disappear... and part of me was hoping the same thing... but the complete opposite has happened.  I am the most visible I have ever been in my life.  I love meeting new people and having conversations.  My life feels full in the area of connections.  I am happy when I am around people with no anxiety and I get a little sad when I leave them.  After leaving a place with people I have connected with I smile for days thinking of how lucky I am to have met those people.  I may or may not see them again but I know they are out there and that brings comfort.

Life is just amazing.

 This was my second campground in the LA area.

Randall loves to watch all the goings on.
