I'm back on the grid!  Ho Hum...power at the flick of a switch and almost unlimited hot water is great, but.....

I love my home, my neighbourhood, my city, but I much prefer the pace and space that being at the trailer affords me.

Time is measured by your belly and your naps and the sun.  That is completely the way our bodies and spirits should be guided.

Space is taken up by trees and birds and sky and apparently by wolves, bears and cougars, but to this point we have managed to avoid those quite well.

I can tell that being out of the work a day world for a while has made a huge impact on my soul and well-being.  While working in my last role the only place I could totally unwind was when I was out at the trailer. By the time I hit the city limits on the way home the knots were back in my shoulders and it felt like I'd only been gone a few hours.

Now, I'm sitting here after having bathed the dogs, unloaded the truck and ordered pizza and the knots still aren't back. When hubby and I walked in the door it felt like we had been gone for weeks and yet it was 48 hours and 16 minutes from the time we had left the house.  This is the way it should be.
