According to an article in Kiplnger yesterday, 83% of Americans want to stay in their current house “as long as possible” … until death do they part? And only 5% of homeowners would consider selling their house and renting “even if it is the best financial outcome for them”. Seems moving and simplifying doesn’t fit most people’s vision of the American dream. Yet here is our dream, all in less than 24 hours… pronto pups, flip flops, kites, sunsets and everything else that comes with our freedom.
What… corn dogs? Nope, pronto pups… while sitting overlooking the harbor on a beautiful day. Sure, technically a corn dog, but with an amazing light batter. Combined with the peaceful easy living here it is transformative of spirit.
Oh, also today, we discovered the kites are back, practicing to fill the skies for Kite Festival this weekend. All summer long, events on the beach. And if seeking quiet, a multitude of beaches to find our Corona moments.
I read a post from a Yooper (upper peninsula of Michigan resident) who describes seeing the Whitefish Point Beach on Lake Superior as “every time, I feel another part of my soul reclaimed.” True here too. The water is blue, the skies clear, the breeze fresh, the living is easy… and of course every night, a different sunset.
