I'm nearly 52, and at Dad's house, belongings I couldvoavk into my truck and haul home still abound. I don't want to make a full exit, and in sure Dad, as mom didn't want me to either, so hmmm, odd but interesting things of my past to comfort me and keep my room comfortable. The space comfortable. We, an aging family fast, want a home that represents love and a happy nest, and no need for a full retreat anyhow, yet still, at my own age, possessions must be now quickly shed. I know now how ive done what I use to easily do. I don't have the same desires. I already know the easier way coming, and ive fought against it hardcore, even though many would think not perhaps. I've been a warrior against disease that will have me eventually, but never today, and thus far I have survived over odds for many days, it will only win one, again, eventually, not today.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
I have a lot in Pittsburgh.
What's the cheapest quickest way to excavate a driveway up from the street and onto the property so I can dump some crush and run gravel?
Maybe place an ad on Facebook & craigslist and try to contract it out?
Anybody know anyone interested possibly or that is themselves personally qualified, inbox me!
I'd probably be even more inclined to sell/trade the lot too if anyone wants a lot in the Spring Hill subdivision and right close to the stadiums downtown and the casinos. It's not much, but it will make a cool camp to park and overnight once a driveway is cut and electric and water hookups are added. Perfect to pull a camper or dock the RV at!
I've got to simplify and make useful all in my life, or give/do away with where it serves the best interests and therefore I'm flexible. It's next to at johns Lutheran church's cemetery, and I may approach them about possibly buying the property, or bequeathing it to them after I use it with a driveway as outlined, essentially, to enjoy tone in Pittsburgh without making a more permanent commitment, like the house that was once next door to the property that I own... now demolished and gone, I'd some it and kept only the land last time health kicked my ass and took everything.
So, generally speaking... I'm open-minded to ideas that either simplify life and/or make use of my possessions or otherwise I must depart with many things soon.
Hmmmmmmmm
If you read all that and your me... what would you do? I enjoy the idea that I can skip from Cumberland west to Pittsburg @125 miles, or east to Baltimore at 125 or southeast to Alexandria (DC) @150 miles and be able to comfortably nest a couple of days. That's been the dream anyway, but no connection to Baltimore any longer.
I want to explore and enjoy the arts while I skip from city to city, from my home city cradled in the mountains that are Cumberland, while learning more about what works and what doesn't concerning populations of people.
I cannot help but be fascinated but still want to be able to hero my distance, like an animal that has from people, I must be able to escape to the primal reality that is the woods so I can commune in spirit, or I feel disconnected to my higher power. The mountains speak volumes loud and clear to me, the cities too often tragic tales and terribly difficult lessons. It simply challenges of humanity concentrated at high numbers and more easily able to observe that which is fruitful and not and how do we next go about remedying these concerns, or not.
Something of each one of these cities and its people that I find deeply charmed by, and at ease too. I grew up in Alexandria, visiting DC in my youth often, and I've visited Baltimore since youth too, and once had a contract to purchase a home there, ...and Pittsburgh was the return to my birth state but otherwise really a personal adventure of my own completely, attracted by the professional team's, the arts, the entertainment, and the casinos together, and the rest of the growing spirit if the city. I dream of watching the steelers one year in the future. I was in Alexandria when our beloved skins one several super bowls, and I've been close to Baltimore, but I want to live a single season in Pittsburgh and watch a super bowl...because what even better perspective could there be to write about? I'm waiting for the next alignment in Pittsburgh, and my health and those things are happening now.
So now, what would you do?
It's just really hard to give up on my dreams.
...and in all these travels, music and musicians always surround me, celebrating and sharing life and helping another maintain balance through difficult times.
The Look I Realized Was Fear of Death, On Turn, Fear of Life
The fear in everyones' eyes is so obvious, once the fear has departed from within your own soul permanently first, as now you realize with clarity what you saw within everybody else eyes before that puzzled you so. Life from this new perspective is fresh and revealing instead of scary as before; as now I'm certain of the realm that awaits, and the beautiful and perfect journey that will lead me Back Again to His. Kingdom, no matter how difficult the journey. In life i'll fear, but fear death any longer, i'll not ever again.
