So we have quite a lot of stuff in storage ... and that's okay. Our everyday lives are small and nearly possession-free, but we have the comfort of our most special items "in reserve" should we decide to go back.

We have sailed towards the horizon a lot, feeling what you so expertly describe. And, I also like the phrase "expanding your horizons". It all happens when you sail towards a new and exotic destination, that is not just around the corner. :-)Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708230140827355204.post-4068675901722367702016-04-09T21:17:09.884+01:002016-04-09T21:17:09.884+01:00I've enjoyed life on a sailboat for two weeks,...I've enjoyed life on a sailboat for two weeks, but that's it for my wanderlust gene.

Most people think we're nuts. He's mentioned living on a boat but I don't think I'm ready for that much of a downsize yet. The travel, yes. The small size I will need to get used to gradually. I'm a little clautrophobic plus an introvert - bad combination in a small space.LissaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584807385075888865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708230140827355204.post-45758332891386858652016-04-09T18:32:30.924+01:002016-04-09T18:32:30.924+01:00"Bring me that horizon!"

I figure one of these days, we'll either end up destroying Earth ourselves or a meteor will do it for us, so we need to spread out there to survive.
