Heading North

Getting ready to travel into the wilds of New Hampshire again, like we do every year. It will be a beautiful family reunion. We haven’t all been together in a long time. My brother didn’t come home for Christmas this year, and despite things like Facebook, where I feel like I talk to him every day, there is nothing like being in person. And my sisters, and their husbands, and my nieces and nephews, and my mother …. I have been working so hard and there is a relentless quality to my schedule (which I am grateful for), but I need some relaxation. I need some fun. Once you get on the freelance wagon, sometimes it is hard to give yourself the permission to step off for one cotton-pickin’ second. Come Saturday night, I’ll be on that dock again. My health is getting better every day, but it requires vigilance. I have to work the program. The paradigm shift in my life has been all-encompassing, and will be a challenge to keep going on vacation. But it has to be done, so whatever, I’ll do it. I’ve been listening to a lot of Sam Cooke these days, he makes me happy, he soothes my spirit. I love my family and I am counting the days until we are all together again!

    Sign up for SKYPE…It is FREE…You can talk with video (plug in camera or use built-in on computer)with friends. Almost like being there with no expensive airfare.

      I Skype already. And Face time. But thanks anyway. Just looking forward to vacation and family time, that’s what this post is about.

    I hope you see a musical at the local playhouse, I loved your write up of Guys and Dolls. Have fun!

      That Guys and Dolls was so much fun. I’m now friends with some of the cast on Facebook. Life is great. I am not sure what is playing at the summer stock theatre, but I’m sure we will go!!
