Do you ever get to that point in Winter when you're just tired of cold, rainy weather?
There's a reason I've spent so much of my life on tropical islands. Pretty much anytime I could swing it financially, that's where I was.
Sometimes I think about selling my house here in the foggy, always coldish San Francisco Bay Area and building a house in Bali instead. Or maybe Thailand. I have friends in both places from having lived in Asia previously. Africa also calls to me, though that would more likely be a year of travel, not building a house right away.
I don't yearn for the road. I'm feeling more like being settled these recent years. But settled in a place where the sun shines more, temps hang in the low 80s, and the cost of living is so low that my current passive income (and maybe someday Steemit blogging) could essentially allow me to retire right now.
Am I complaining? In a way I guess I am, but really I'm thinking through my options. Sometimes we need to face our dissatisfaction so that we'll bother to reach for more. In my experience, the only way we usually get more is if we first stop being willing to settle for less.
