It's been a while since I've written...and realistically speaking, I will be further remiss for the next two weeks, because.............I'm goin' on - "V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N.....(gonna have a ball".....as the song goes). And don't I deserve it? After all, it's my birthday and a somewhat monumental one. Oh... not for the usual reasons... but monumental, because I will have outlived my father and will almost have outlived my mother. Both my parents died "young" and it was sudden and unexpected with both of them....and for us.... their children...who were left behind....parent-less......
Having such a tragedy like that happen, well.....it gave me a new perspective.....permission to enjoy my life and try harder to live it well.....Time is such a fleeting thing..slipping, slipping away so easily. We must make the most of what time we do have in this life......so we're splurging to a trip, Richard and I - albeit - a road trip - to the mountains of North Carolina to a little cottage that my cousin owns. There, Richard and I will relax and just enjoy our time........and nature...... and each other. I'm really looking forward to it, because I love the fall colour and the cool fresh mountain air...as well as the air of adventure.....of not having a specific plan....of "winging it" and being open to experiences.
So If anyone out there ever finds this blog and actually reads it, I hope they'll understand that I'm living my life the best I know how.....and that I'm just a person....trying to live in the 21st Century.
