I’m with you...you’re not simply talking about gear choices and trip planning but a way of living modestly, with less detritus, freedom from junk, and more spontaneous living.
Being able to reinvent oneself is one of the biggest advantages in aging, IMO. I’m workin’ on it now...have sold and rid myself of tons of household crap, getting the house ready to sell, decreased my work hours, bowed out of some of my time-consuming group activities...
It’s hard work and I recently had to cancel two hiking trips for house-related stuff but the end result is going to be fabulous.
(And dang...if you can’t figure out how to turn on the TV cuz there’s so many effin remotes, who needs ‘em?)
