My Growing Health


A few months ago, I decided to quit trying to figure out why there are days I feel good and days I feel bad. What did I do or not do that changed what happened in my body? I realized constantly trying to answer questions about my health were causing me stress and I didn’t feel good about myself because I wasn’t able to figure out the answers. I decided trying to figure out the answers was not in my best interest.

Since making this decision, I’ve noticed I don’t feel as bad as often. I also seem to recover from times of not feeling good more quickly. I no longer get upset about the down days, instead they are just part of my whole.

I’ve finally made it to New Mexico. I want to try the higher altitudes and see if I tolerate the weather better. I’ve noticed I do well with temperatures up to about 85°. If there’s a breeze, I can tolerate higher temperatures. I’m even able to handle temperatures in the low 90’s, especially if there’s a breeze, without AC. I’m best at temperatures below 80°. So, I’ve learned higher altitudes are in my future. 😊 I will go higher next year.

I’m in a very beautiful location near Pie Town, NM. The closest town is 20+ miles away and that’s a tiny town. To be able to go to a real grocery I must travel 70 – 100 miles. Yes, I’m that far from everything. Personally, I like it.

I’m able to see wildlife and I’m enjoying that. I’m meeting nice people and getting to know the area. I’m doing well on days that stay in the mid to low 80’s. I’m also taking the opportunity to learn about my solar panels, batteries, and generator. This has me hopeful that I’ll start boondocking more.
