BLOG 323–FINDING LOVE IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES
There I was, on the road for many years. Living and traveling in my van, I went to every national park and every state in the US. I hope you stayed with me on my travels by reading this blog. If you did read, you saw how loney I was.
I loved this lifestyle, but I did get lonely on the road. As you know, I was in an accident with my van, and it was totaled. This was another big change in my life. I knew I would get back because I had been through so many. My daughters, Jasmine and April, did much to get me going again.
I wanted to find a partner to spend life with. Finding true love can be challenging in modern times due to increased options, changing priorities, unrealistic expectations, fear of vulnerability, and shifting social dynamics. I knew she was out there; I had to keep looking.
While staying at Extended Stay in Akron, I had my van, which worked superbly, making me very happy. Then, off I went to Florida to spend some time before meeting with a doctor, near my daughters, about the accident I was in. He found numerous things wrong with me, and I was okay with that. It was on my way back from Florida that I had my accident.
While staying in Akron, I realized that I needed to find a way to get Medicaid to help pay for my teeth repair. I looked on the internet, but I would have to go to a place many miles away to talk with someone about Medicaid.
I saw there was someone locally whom I could meet with about Medicaid. I found out later that she was not local to Extended Stay. That is how I met Jennifer. We had a short talk, and I said that she could help me with my Medicare. We were attracted to each other instantly.
Jasmine and April worked hard to find me a place to reside in Florida. But things had changed, as Jennifer and I developed a love. With no more vehicle, I needed somewhere to stay. I moved in with Jennifer, and it was just right. We are both so happy together.
At this point, neither of us can imagine not being with each other. YES—it is that good. If you are not with the love of your life, you CAN find this person. Remember, they are also looking. Keep your mind open and your heart strings purring. The subject of this blog should help you.
And, if you are in a relationship, keep feeding it your best with love.
Focus on personal growth first, and love will follow.
If you are happy with yourself, others will be.
TIPS TO FIND TRUE LOVE >>
Don’t seek romance; look for partnership.
Be yourself, always.
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself or the relationship.
Take things slowly—don’t rush into anything.
Keep an open mind and communicate honestly with your partner.
Spend time together doing something you both enjoy.
To find love, focus on yourself—self-love and self-awareness—before actively seeking meaningful connections. Develop a strong sense of self, clarify your values, and engage in activities that align with your interests to increase your chances of finding love, whether through online dating, social groups, or other means.
HOW TO FIND PASSION IN LIFE >>
More than just finding someone to be with you.
Develop and have passion throughout your life.
FOCUS!
Please be sure to look for the high points in your day.
Pay attention to what you spend your time and money on.
Please take a look at the topics you love.
Be ready to teach or talk about your passions with others.
Think about your strengths.
Could you look over the details?
Cultivate self-love and self-awareness as the foundation for finding meaningful connections. By developing a strong sense of self, understanding your values, and pursuing your interests, you’ll naturally increase your opportunities for love, whether online, in social settings, or elsewhere.
Make as many connections as you can, becoming friends with many.
Perhaps you won’t find someone directly.
They have friends, though, so you could be led down a path of love that you never imagined.
Yes, they are there, also looking.

WORDS TO INSPIRE YOU!
Inspirational quotes and sayings have a unique ability to change the way we feel about life and can change our thoughts. They are attractive, challenging, and essential on our path to joy and happiness, and finding ways to inspire ourselves and others.
READ
Reading through the quotes below about life can do the trick if you’re looking for a pick-me-up or a healthy dose of motivation. Whether centered around positive affirmations, self-care, or success, life quotes can be powerful inspirational tools.
THE BURST!
Inspirational quotes and ideas give us a quick and timely burst of wisdom to regain our focus, offering the inspiration needed for the day or occasion. I hope the words below bring a smile to your face and drive you to make this day and every day a fantastic event.
BE POSITIVE!
Just as positive words can make someone smile, and a well-timed, amusing quote can make someone laugh, your thoughts react to real life. Have this control! You have complete control over only one thing in the universe—YOUR THINKING!—and that’s where motivational quotes come in!
“YOU”
Your quality of thinking and how you think and feel about yourself, including your beliefs and expectations about what is possible, determine everything in your life. Use quotes to move ahead in your life.
SELF-TALK IS SO ESSENTIAL—THINK RIGHT!
To stay motivated, you have to use each day as an opportunity to improve and get closer to your goals. It might sound like a lot of work, and it’s next to impossible with your busy schedule. But you can do it! Motivational words, yes, are just words. But they are positive words; they will keep you on track.
QUOTES
Motivational quotes affect our brain, behavior, and lives because they make us feel like we are in control of our success and have self-efficacy. Quotes make us believe that we have the confidence to complete a task successfully, which is different from having the motivation to succeed.
QUOTES WILL BENEFIT YOU!
Positive and inspiring quotes can be like sunshine on a cloudy day. They inject optimism into our thoughts, brighten our mood, and help us focus on the good in life. They remind us that even in the face of adversity, we can see the silver lining and embrace a positive attitude.
PEARLS OF WISDOM
In a world filled with challenges and indecisiveness, the power of inspirational quotes cannot be exaggerated. These pearls of wisdom uniquely uplift our spirits, can spark positive change, and fuel our motivation when we need it most.
WORDS WILL CHANGE YOU!
The correct motivational quote can change you and things, helping you ditch the excuses, escape your comfort zone, and take action. Read these words with an open mind and learn to improve your life.
THESE QUOTES
When you read these quotes, you’ll also realize that many other people worldwide are experiencing these feelings. These feelings make you think you’re the only person who could feel this bad. But you’re not. Lots and lots of other people feel bad, too. This is the irony of it. You don’t want other people to feel crappy, but it does make you feel better or at least comforted to know that other people feel just as bad as you.
READ CAREFULLY
These quotes can be used when you wake up or prepare for work.
You can write your favorite quotes somewhere where you can see them first thing in the morning.
These quotes are motivating, inspiring, and encouraging.
They will help you see your potential, stay motivated, and see the beauty in every morning.
Use them to your advantage!

MY DAILY JOTTINGS >>
Each week goes by so quickly.
It seems like time is going by faster and faster.
You must live joyfully, daily, for each day!
Do you know what you did last Monday?
Do you remember what you ate for dinner last Thursday?
You can keep track of your doings for a few weeks; you will see your time differently.
Remember, the quality of your life depends on what you do each day, each moment!
5/10–I looked around, and there was nowhere to start my garden. I am ready to put everything into it, yet I am finding obstacles.
5/11–I guess there is a new person at the house—me. Every person has things and traits that are theirs alone and can add to another person’s living situation. I have been organizing and making some changes to Jeffifer’s home to make it better for both of us.
One of the changes I am finding is that Jennifer has two adorable cats, which I am deadly allergic to. We are currently in the process of finding a new home for these fantastic felines. How about you, could you use a few pretty Kittens?
It’s a sunny, hot day today. I’m getting used to the weather in Pennsylvania again. Our neighborhood is quite nice, with all the trees around. Some retired people live in the area, but we do not deal with many others. Right outside our big porch is a garden area, and we could not have asked for better.
5/12–Today, I found out my van was crushed. They can get money for the metal. I left some things in the van—I wanted to get in—too late. I had been planning to return with Jennifer to search for stuff. Now, all I have are great memories of my van and travels
5/13, 14–On these days, not much was completed to add to the blog. I hope these two days went superb for you.
5/15--Costco today to get stuff for home. Yes, saying “home” after so many years of traveling in my van is good. Of course, I always thought of the van as my home.
5/16–Raindrops keep falling on the roof.
It is raining all day today.
THEN, KEEP DOING NEW (DAILY) FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
******************
THE GARDEN THIS WEEK
I keep this section about gardening in.
I do like the skill and hope you do, too.
Winter is here now.
But there are still things you can grow.
And remember about indoor gardening.
A self-supporting life can be a better life.
A garden would be a part of that life.
You must look into it.
Because I am back on the road.
There will be no more words about the garden.
I do hope Beth keeps it up.
We did a lot of work establishing our vegetable garden.
When I drove the van seven years ago,
I grew stuff under the sunroof windows on the top.
I may start that up in my van garden again.
You will find out, of course.
START YOUR GARDEN TODAY!
IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR YOUR LIFE!
******************
ALL OUR LIVES, WE MUST CHALLENGE OURSELVES!
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK >>
Your challenge: If you are not with someone now, find that special person and add to each other’s lives.
And, if you are with someone, make the romance a new adventure to please each other.
******************
NEXT BLOG >>
Back to basics.

AND WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING FOR YOUR UPCOMING WEEK?
