On that day

HAT WILL YOU REGRET?

On that day the one that is your last...will your last thought be; I really regret I didnt have a bigger house, or a better car, or belonged to a different golf club.  It will be I wish I had lived my life the way I wanted and not the way people told me I should.  Trust me, I don't live my life by anyone's measuring tape but my own.  I find it difficult at best to carry on a conversation with rat race people...because to me what they value is non important in the big picture. 

We all make our choice and we live that choice.  I may not be aligned with you and your choices but if Im happier than you how can you tell me how to live?  Some people buy a new piece of clothing every single week.  New shoes, new accessories, they get their hair made up different.  I have never been that person. I only buy what I need.  If my shoes wear out as they did last fall I buy new and I wear them till they wear out and so forth and so  on.  I cut my own hair.  Have not had a professional hair cut since I was 25? Or maybe younger.  

Right now I need new glasses.  This month my budget is not going to allow that, because the electric company whose main goal in life is to become the biggest richest company in the world hit me with a huge electric bill  even tho I burned wood, I used my propane heater, I only heated the space I was occupying...so Im even considering this...I want to go spend the winter in the desert next yr or in Florida.  Just escape, not my home, but the electric company who makes my choice not good enough. If I had frozen to death that's what it would have taken for me to be happy about that electric bill. 

So I need to make an appt for the eye exam.  The last time I had one was in 2011! Now a days I have to take off my glasses to drive can't see a thing thru the distance part anymore.  I know there are people who have their eyes checked every single year.  Im not saying you shouldn't but it's ok for me not to.  Life is days of choices strung together, until we run out of choices...and we accept that last thought..

Hopefully my last thought will be, I wish I had more time...to make any choice right or wrong.  Just to show how different people are...My sisters and I had the same genetics, same upbringing, and yet we all live differently.  We all married, and then divorced.  One of us remarried late in life.   I love to camp and I sleep in my van.  You all know about that. I can pull into a Walmart parking lot when traveling and sleep, or I can find a campspot with a fire right a table, electric for plugging some stuff in or I can boondock in a National Forest.  Im open to make many choices.  But for that privilege I give up many creature comforts...because creature comforts are not the most important thing in my life.  My sis on the other hand has a large Travel Trailer, and when she travels, she has reservations, she has full hook ups and she has a big screen TV and a Shower with her.  

When I travel I rarely know where I will spend the night I figure that out as I go and Im perfectly happy with that...no stress no expectations, no remorse. And our other sister she hates camping and would rather do motels.  
It's all about choices...its not who is right and who is wrong.
