Freedom Within
Who would have ever known that freedom was so far away from what I knew as home. Home is what you make of it for sure, there is no doubt. Whether you are living in the same house you grew up in or one that is a world away, home is what you make of it and you get one shot at doing it right. You can make mistakes and you can bet your bottom dollar I have made a healthy heaping of them. I have built and bought homes, lived alone and with someone for the previous 20 years. I cannot say which was better as they all had there own uniqueness about them. I will just say that they had their time and place and a certain phase in my life, but now I have galloped on to what I hope will be a brighter future moving forward.
I have everything at my fingertips. I have the ability to do more with less and I can do it all on a shoestring budget. I enjoy the complexity of life, but do not necessarily care for the ageing process on my body. Life takes its toll wherever you are, make sure you are prepared for the jump and never look back at what could have been.
I do pay a pretty penny for some necessities I enjoy or that I want to experience and I think it is okay to pay for the luxury. I have my feet on the ground in the jungles of Cambodia, beginning to grow plants, veggies, fruits, animals, etc., for eventual consumption. I will not lie, I fail more than succeed, but its a learning curve I am fully aware of and ready for in my life. My wife keeps me focused as I tend to stray and that I appreciate more than she will ever realize. Our life has begun and it really is starting at ground zero. Let us take you on a lifelong journey to experience something special. Living away from the media bombardment of the TV, internet and societal ills of the major cities are something we both admire and will never go back to, and our hope is that one day, you will enjoy your life at a pace only dictated by yourself. Albeit, sometimes it makes for good entertainment to sightsee through the city and to visit is a must, just not to stay. Do you feel the excitement in the air?
Tonight I will go to town, which is about 6 miles away and enjoy what it has to offer, but when I sleep, its back to the comfort of the jungle and living a life of no one telling my wife or I, what to do or how to do it. To us, it is a life of bliss and a life made of happiness. Dreams can come true, never be afraid to leave the 9 to 5, even when you think you don’t have enough. You will make it if it is in your heart and you truly desire the unexpected.
