Living R'Dream

Our first day on R'Dream, and it’s amazing.  My office is the upper deck of the boat, a gentle breeze keeping me cool under the canopy .  The sights and sounds and smells of the water enveloping me as I write today.  What a glorious experience, what a gift to all the senses. 

We arrived in Crofton yesterday just after lunch, after spending the night in a campground near Chilliwack.  The campground was nice enough, and quiet, but we still feel that Valemount was the top of the ladder for campgrounds so far.  We’re meeting some amazing people on our journey, seeing incredible sites and loving it all. 

We were fortunate in Crofton to get bumped up to a full service site, with a nice view of the bay.  Another lucky gift from the universe as we make our way along this journey. There have been so many gifts and blessings, on this journey and all my previous ones.  How fortunate I am. 

Every single time I spend time near this water, I ask myself why I am not out here permanently,  spending all of my days in her glory. But then I head for home and ask myself how I could ever leave.  Life is so full of contradictions. Contradictions, complications and confusion, but it’s still glorious

I can see this exact spot being my new office for the next stages of the writing that I need to get going at.  There’s so much beauty, and so little distracting my mind here.  My attention is a little different visually, as my eyes keep getting drawn to a small seal, who seems to be as interested in figuring out what I’m doing as I am in him. Still, the glory of having learned typing skills in high school is that I can watch him, while my fingers do their work on the keyboard on my knee.  Life is very, very good. 

So for today, we’re just focused on figuring out some of the details of this new home away from home.  The GPS/Depth-finder is being installed as I write, and by tomorrow we should be able to go out on our first big adventure of this new part of our life.  It’s going to be amazing, I can just tell, because after all, isn’t it what you decide it is going to be?
