Stop and smell the roses

. . . or look at the sky, or do something other than worry and fret about things.

When you're RVing and boondocking way away from city lights, you can have an awesome view of the night sky.

As you can see in the picture above, you don't have to be totally in the dark to get a good view of the night sky. Even though there are some lights visible in the picture, there's still a great view of the stars.

If you don't have your RV yet, that's not a problem. Look closely at the picture above and you can see that the RV in the picture is a rented RV. You can tell that by the landscape scene that's painted on the side of the motorhome.

You can rent RVs from individuals that don't have the landscapes painted on the side, but none of that matters. All that matters is that you get out away from the world (at least, away from the part of the world that's all lite up), and and look up at the sky and the stars. Then you can meditate, ponder, relax, or whatever you want to call it.

Is your spouse acting like a ball and chain?

If your spouse is acting like a ball and chain when it comes to agreeing to try living the RVing life, maybe a weekend boondocking out in the wilderness under the stars will convince them how enjoyable the lifestyle can be.

Below is a link to a short video that John and Mercedes posted on their YouTube channel recently about their experiences when trying to decide whether to live full-time in an RV. John said that Mercedes was acting like a ball and chain (and she agreed). Here is a link to the video.

Maybe John should have tried the star-gazing technique described above.

Bottom line: Give this technique a try. It might provide just the nudge you need to get your spouse to agree to try living the full-time RVing lifestyle. Even if you just want to get away from things for a weekend, a star-gazing weekend is a great way to do it.
