I for one have never been good about categorizing things, as a result, labels have never had a lot of meaning to me.<br /><br />I'm not sure that the term "Full timer" is all that valuable; but it's funny the way us retirees try to fit into terms that may have little impact on our lives. Clearly, you are retired. What you are after that matters little except as you decide it does.<br /><br />Like yourself, we are stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. Our Journey sits too much of the time in storage while we wait to get our brick & mortar house sold. <br /><br />The one thing I have learned while waiting is that we can do all sorts of things to make the time pass but waiting is waiting, and waiting is all about patience. If I think my activity is making me more patient I'm only fooling myself; my activities (productive though they may be) are not part of the process of waiting; they are a diversion.<br /><br />Given the price of FLA RV winter sites it's not surprising that park owners are looking for a lot of work in exchange for a site -- takes more hours to "earn" the monthly rate. But I can see how it could be frustrating.<br /><br />I'm about ready to forget labels altogether. <br /><br />In the meantime.... just stay in the moment and live. <br /><br />cheers,<br />Peter<br />http://peterpazucha.com/awaywego/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639202304215312120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764652192459490984.post-56161009668723376152012-02-22T07:03:34.232-05:002012-02-22T07:03:34.232-05:00Lots of decisions!

I think the ability to adapt to change is a great skill and a tough one to learn. Sounds to me like you are doing just great!! <br /><br />Bill and I always says, if what we are doing isn't working, then we adjust the plan. If you aren't willing to adjust... you will be stressed. Find what works for you!!!<br /><br />Just nice to see another way to enjoy this lifestyle!!!Nancy and Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923426994795610528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764652192459490984.post-22393086501060453162012-02-21T23:00:03.104-05:002012-02-21T23:00:03.104-05:00Boy I know how that stress can sneak back into you...Boy I know how that stress can sneak back into your life.<br />And how things can really change moment to moment in terms of what you thought you'd be doing.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764652192459490984.post-13906554798244061152012-02-21T22:37:26.994-05:002012-02-21T22:37:26.994-05:00I can see why you feel a little stressed, but it s...I can see why you feel a little stressed, but it sounds like you are developing a plan that will work for you and that is all that counts:)Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764652192459490984.post-63362875310931944962012-02-21T21:50:28.932-05:002012-02-21T21:50:28.932-05:00What you guys are doing is lots of work.

It's a wonder you are all stressed out. Breathe deeply and just keep telling yourself, "And this too shall pass". I can definitely understand not wanting to work next winter in Florida with those restrictions. It doesn't appear to be very lucrative. Have you guys ever given any thought to maybe spending your winters in say... southern Arizona? Absolutely beautiful there in the winter. Just a thought. Take care and regards to all.Denise and Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764652192459490984.post-26326531541301411382012-02-21T21:25:27.617-05:002012-02-21T21:25:27.617-05:00I also have a summer job in Colorado, its more mon...I also have a summer job in Colorado, its more months and hours than I thought I would want, April 11th til Oct 23rd, but then I have 6 months off, hopefully.
