my fiance wants to do what gordon is doing......and i have no doubt he will be perfectly happy if he does it. give most men a tv, a recliner and a microwave......oh and something to drive....and they will adjust just fine.
he wants me to go with him, but being a woman, i am trying to figure out how i can take my favorite dinnerware, the full size refrigerator, the dogs and cats and birds, oh, and i have to pot up some of my favorite plants in the garden so i can take those, my computer of course, my mccoy vases, my boleslawiec collection, my bookends collection, all my books, the sewing machine, boxes of vintage fabric, the christmas trees and ornaments..............you get it, i'm a woman, we nest, we don't travel easily generally. there are women who can just pick up and go within minutes, but i think women like myself are more common and we find it difficult to understand how men don't need THINGS around them to make them happy.
to live like gordon is doing makes me think of freedom......maybe i am really thinking of freedom from all the material stuff that weighs me down. 🙂
