Travel day

All day today I'll be traveling back home from Florida to Washington state. From one extreme corner of the continental US to the other. I couldn't sleep and now it's not even 2:00 am at home. I won't return to my own bed until sometime after 9:00 pm. Makes for a very long day.

Norma Jean will be walking the dogs herself after today. This picture was taken yesterday, and I have to say I will miss her, and them, quite a bit. I don't even want to think about it, and I'm feeling more than a little emotional. My blogging buddies will write posts and I won't have my laptop, so I will be adrift, betwixt and between. Until Wednesday morning when life returns to normal, I'll be thinking of all of you and missing you, too.

It's been a good visit. I have said goodbye to Pete and reconnected with Norma Jean. We are still not only sisters of the flesh but also sisters of the heart. It's good to know that, to be reminded that life goes on after loss, and that sometimes it can herald the start of something fresh and new. Although I am feeling a little bit fragile, I can also feel that my heart is full and something good always comes from that.
