(This may be a little off topic but since I'm feeling a little strange today after a young death in the family, I'm sharing my feelings on cozy.)
So much of life is a state of mind.
Sometimes we need to see the 26 year old in our 70 year old. Amazingly, I know that's what my wife sees in me. Possibly we need to seek and see that part of others.
For me though old and weathered, though aching and unfit, the fact that someone thinks I'm great every day makes the expectation of each morning and night a joy. Now I admit she does wear glasses but Ginny still sees me as an anxious, devoted 16 year old.
Unfortunately I was not born to looking beyond the veneer but did seek it in Ginny. Once it's embraced, and it took me decades to understand it, you can reflect it, become part of it.
The little space we'll occupy for the next 11 months, doesn't seem small but rather cozy, an adventure to be shared. It's not a bother when we slip by each other during the making of breakfast, but a flash of the past, and maybe the future.
I have been so fortunate to spend the last 10 years on the road with Ginny. Every day I learn a little more of what I could have been and am becoming. The special time we have spent traveling has added immensely to my life.
Often we're asked where do you go to get your own space. We do not seek my space or her space but rather our space. Our space is a
Scamp 16 and the 6,000,000 square miles of Canada and the USA.
Wishing you all Joyous travel and your space...
