Hotels

After living in the car for two and a half months I decided it is time to spend a few nights in a hotel. The weather has been cold and it seems like it has been a lifetime since I had my last hot shower.

I thought I knew what cold felt like but after spending a long night in a car with the wind hollowing all around me I realized I didn't really know cold. Of course that was nothing compared to the early morning when I had to leave the covers and get dressed. It was so cold I had to actually talk myself into changing from my pjs and into my work clothes. The air penetrated my skin and I felt the chill piece my bones. I shivered as I waited for my car to warm up.

Needless to say that experience made me realize the warmth of a hotel room is worth every penny.

Car Living

Due to some impulsive decisions I find myself currently living in my car. I can't say this was the wisest decision I have ever made but I have learned so much from the experience. Probably one of the greatest lessons I have learned is to appreciate the little things in life.

When I say little things that is exactly what I mean. These are the things that most people take for granted. A hot shower or a shower in any form, a home cooked meal, or perhaps just a private bathroom instead of a public restroom.

When you find yourself appreciating the little things in life the world takes on a whole new perspective.

The Journey of Life

Life is a journey. Each of us goes through different experience on a daily basis. Some of those experiences leave us in awe because of the positive effect they have on our life and others leave us wondering how we will ever heal from the deep scars that they leave behind. I've had my fair share of both experiences. This blog is about my journey of life and the incredible lessons I've learned along the way.
