Ahhh...Summer

So after many weeks of travel, life is settling down and as I sift through the memories I realize that there have been many changes not over the last few weeks but over the last few years that have made it hard for me to sit here and share. With this realization I also am anticipating new changes in my life and am looking forward to all that may be waiting for me just around the bend. It has been almost seven years since I first posted here and life has changed for me in many ways...some good and some not so but what is important is that life in one way or another goes on and we grow through all we experience. I think it is when we are at those spots in life when change is inevitable that we take time to relive the past and hopefully receive guidance for how to move forward. I am happy to say that even with the sorrow an empty nest brought me it has been a growing experience and I have found that my relationship with both my son and daughter has blossomed. It is not the same and really, I wouldn't want it to be and with these new changes and experiences I have found happiness and peace. It has been nice that my son moved back in for a bit and also that by freeing time up I have been able to travel to Davis often to see my daughter. Change...it is not always welcomed but I guess what matters is that we face it and walk with it the best we are able. So...to the future and the changes it is bringing...I approach with caution and excitement!
