100 Days

It's the beginning of a new week, and we're the first to admit we are a bit overwhelmed. The reality is starting to sink in: If we accelerate our plans, everything - from packing to leaving our jobs - starts coming at us faster and faster.

Yowza!

But then, we think back. It was just 100 days or so ago that we completed our trip in the rented Tioga that got us hooked on this lifestyle in the first place. In 100 days we've researched, shopped for, found and purchased a motorhome that we can play in now and fulltime in later. In those 100 days we have gone out on four outings and spent 10 nights in our new home away from home. While we still have tons to learn, we are beginning to get the hang of it all. In those same 100 days we've given birth to an idea to make a major lifestyle change and embark on a great RV escape. We've taken very early steps to begin the big purge. We've started to inventory our house and all our possessions. Heck, somewhere in those 100 days we even launched a blog or two. We are on our way.

So, when overwhelm hits, and we can't believe how much is in front of us, we just look back at how much we've accomplished in just 100 days.

With some one, two or three hundred days ahead of us -- give or take a hundred or two -- to do what we need to do, we're reminding ourselves of how much we have done and how much we are capable of doing.
