RE: Looking at my grandmother today I realised that in this life you only get one shot.

in #life7 years ago

We are dealing many of the same things with our Grandmothers (my Wife's and mine). Heart issues, dementia, hip replacement, strokes...just to name the most recent issues. It's hell getting old as my Grandfather says, that and Youth is wasted on the Young.

That statement used to confuse the crap out of me, Youth is Wasted on the Young. Well it's true. Once your old and your body is failing you, once you have worked your life away, once you have seen enough things, and learned to appreciate life for what it is it's to late to truly live life.

Your recent changes in life tell me you are going to take that one shot at life and live it.

I'm working on a plan to change to world travelers with the family. It will require many sacrifices along the way, but think that if I try to wait until the time is right there just never will be a time. I'm going to take a shot and hopefully it works out as expected or better, but either way I'll have tried.

Yeah, and some of these changes are pretty scary at times even though I plan them well. I hope you will be able to live your dream of traveling.

I do also. The plan is about a 2 year one to transition to online/digital earning to allow me to be anywhere in the world and keep earning. Would love to visit different steemians I've met around the world and then spend anywhere from a month to three based on how much we enjoy it. Don't think I will be able to make Steemit a sole income stream in 2 years, but if I can grow this account to a point that it even supplements some of my income that would help.

Figure posts from around the world meeting others and arranging meetups as I travel would be a great way to keep active here and have a lot of fun at the same time.

Sure plenty of people say they want to do this, but I'm actually working on the action plan towards achieving it.
