RVers Slow Down and Enjoy Life

We enjoy the RV lifestyle for many reasons. Travel and experiencing new adventures is at the top of the list. Seeing old friends and being able to spend time with family members scattered all over the map is also a huge benefit. Being where the weather is nice is also a plus. Another great aspect of this lifestyle is I can live slow. I ran in the fast lane so long that slowing down and savoring life was not easy. I still haven’t mastered it, but I’m beginning to catch the vision. Yesterday we went out to Chinese food with relatives and at the end of the meal here comes the fortune cookie. This is what mine said: "Do not rush through life. Pause and enjoy it" Now if you want to have fun with fortune cookies, always add the words “in bed” at the end. Playing this little game has made us laugh and laugh over the years. Try it next time you eat Chinese. Laughter is a good thing making your heart merry. We could use more laughter in the world today. So I’ll pass on this funny thought from my adventures at the warehouse store Costco. I was wandering the isles like a zombie when I happened on this display. I'm thinking, "Are these the leftover ends from short people?"I was speechless at the thought of buying a casket at Costco. Not a bad idea really, and the prices are great, so I snapped a picture and wandered on quickly forgetting about it as I munched on samples handed out by a delightful lady with some kind of small fishnet on her head. As we went through the checkout register the cashier asked me, “Would you like a box?” Not just yet… Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing
