Hi Mari,

I posted in my intro that I plan to sell my "stick" home this winter and purchase a used Class A motor home and go full-time to see this wonderful country as you are doing. How long have you been full-timing? Are you in any RV clubs?

My major stresses come from taking care of a dear friend with Alzheimer's full time for the past three years. She'll go with me in the RV. She's a wonderful person but I do get tired of repeating myself day in and day out, but don't let on to her that it's annoying or stressful to me. Currently we live half a year in her home in upstate NY and the rest of the year in my home in central FL. We just got back to FL last week and packing for two for 6 months at a time is very stressful for me. I'm just not good at organizing for such a large amount of stuff (particularly my genealogy records etc.). I can't wait to get that RV and not have to pack for an extended trip ever again!!!!

I AM learning to relax through this class. Prior to leaving NY I was so stressed my heart was pounding in my ears. I could lie on the bed and take my pulse without touching my wrists, just listening to the pounding in my ears. As I started to do the relaxation exercises the pounding got quieter and quieter, and slower and slower until the sound was gone. Wow, that was a powerful moment for me to finally learn how to quiet my body and relax.

Maybe we'll meet on the road someday.

HappyTrails,
