I always have to giggle when I stroll past someone in the thrift store and find myself peering into their buggy. Last time I did it, a wonderful woman pulled out a lamp. "Would you look at this! It's perfect! I just moved and needed a nice lamp for my reading corner!" It was brass, and heavy, had a twisted base and a splayed feather design all in brass. She was in love with the heft, the patina, the shape and look! What a unique lampshade, too! It's paper mache with leaves on it! I couldn't stop smiling...I had donated it to a thrift store that specifically assists people who are waiting for housing. When they get their housing, they get a voucher to a few thrift stores. The lamp shade was a diy project I did about 15 yrs ago. I 'freshened' up my den and had found another lamp at a different thrift shop, so I donated that one along with a small table. Never know who you're helping.

Thank you, Carol. This is a very timely message for me to hear today. We’ve been in the same rig for over five years, longer than we’ve ever lived in any home other than during our growing up years. Sometimes when we see bigger, better and newer, or when we see snowbirds leaving and heading to their sticks and bricks, we feel those pangs of wishful thinking. You’re so right, it’s all about perspective and whether our needs are being met. Things could be so much worse so thank you for addressing this topic.

Yes.indeed!!

I often compare our campervan to others, but I include the negatives of having their van and bring myself round to preferring our set up. We didn't put cabinets in, we have tubs under the bed. The vans that are decked out like a home look really cozy, but we wanted to save on space and weight. We have lots of space to move around. We go on month long trips, so space for 2 people in a tiny home is important. I'm proud of our innovative, space saving, cost saving alternates to the luxurious vans I've seen on youtube. The other was the RVs I think, it would be great to have that much space. Then you can only go to official campsites, you can't fit in a normal parking space and you can't stealth park in the city. I like your points, I try to do all those things you said. I agree all of them can change your mood about yourself and your lifestyle choices. It's your life, not anyone elses. It's none of their business and not their problem. If it works, there's nothing to complain about.

You're absolutely right, don't compare your vehicle with other people's vehicles. That's true when you do see tourists. It's like going to a open house. You think the house is how they live in, they clean the house up? Change the furniture around to make it look good so they can sell the house. Well, the same with Van Torres when you look At Van Tours. always clean and tidy when you actually live in a Van full-time. It's never clean like that. I know because I live in my vampire time. And I'm only part-time and my Van gets dirty fast so when you see tourist events. It's fake because I'm not clean like that in my life.

Wise words for a sweet lady. You brought to mind that I was traveling and had stopped at a campground I had been to several times. I was in a 20+ year old pickup I had bought new and it still looked new with a camper shell with my camping gear from decades of camping. A lady I met that was camping out of a rented car with a tiny tent asked me if I was homeless. I was shocked. I had just shared with her the extensive circle of travel I had done in two of our larger states while meeting friends and family on the circle. I can't help but wonder if her intention in asking me that was to shame me. Sometimes people can be so strange.

Just so many things. Some things, I've had to save up and get a pro (like pumping my septic or replacing my HVAC), but for the smaller (but still could have been expensive) jobs, it took some effort, but I'm glad to be a student of KZread University! My sweet tri-level split (a throwback to the '70s era) hits 50 yrs old this year! The gentleman who had it built also built three of the 11 homes (including his) on our little street. His son and widow live two houses over. They've since been lead tested, radon tested, termite tested, and are all standing strong. Mine has had bathrooms added and removed, has housed college kids, bachelors, wedding parties (my backyard is shaded by three beautiful elms and has thickets where rabbits and chipmunks reside.) The 1970's era two-car garage was enclosed, carpeted and vented about 20 yrs ago. My first holiday dinner seated 21 people comfortably with enough room for the cake & pie table in one corner, the Christmas tree in another and two long tables. It was great! Yeah, it might look odd from the outside. But when I think back to when I would drive past houses like that, while I was living in an ant infested, drafty, mildewey rental that was condemned, I'm SOO happy with my 50 yr old prize. Funny when my grandpa lived in the little 2 bedroom duplex we would visit in the summer, nothing matched and everything was already at least 30 yrs old. Nowadays, it's called eclectic 🤣

Beautiful lady,I drove semi tractor trailers for year's. I am comfortably living in a van. It's much better than living in the cab of a semi. I have family members that are at the end of their lives. My van allows me to have my own place while I try to help them move on to the here after. I am a truck driver and I am thankful for my experiences living in a tractor-trailer. Much more comfortable living in the van and practical. I don't have to live this way but it works for me. I want the freedom to move as I please. I have never considered what people think of my rig. don't care.

I think maintaining an attitude of gratitude even for the smallest things will get you thru even the most difficult times.

I will do my best😊

When I get feelings of self-doubt and when I start focusing on negative aspects of my life, I remind myself that it is the enemy trying to work on me. God does not want that for me! When I look back at all the bad things that have happened in my life the past 10 years and start comparing my life to others, I stop and think- I always, always have Jesus by my side. Thank you for the message. This is an amazing channel.

We really as the Bible says fight spiritual battles. Once we recognize that we know what we are up against and can be better prepared to come out victorious.

THANKS FOR KIND WORDS OF WISDOM.

Wise words ❤❤❤

Good list, Carol. Thanks for making this video. X

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13 You live this, Carol. Your hand is always out to help those in need or to share your well learned wisdom and do so with such love and humility. How our young people would be spared so much sorrow if they listened to this and stop trying to conform to Hollywood or TikTok lives. much love to you.
