What a bizarre week this has been and to end it off, the wind is circling around, racing from tree to tree. I keep hearing loud crashing and I find new stuff in my yard has been relocated to someplace else.
Last night wasn’t any better. It made for great ‘walking’ weather though. It was a beautiful night and after a long day it felt good to get outside, holding hands and just talking. We both have many years with many memories we can talk about and I love to hear things about the time he was in another country. He likes the stories I tell that make him laugh. We did both.
In the middle of the journey was park and we enjoyed swinging and wearing our old arms out. It felt good to be alive last night. It felt good to talk without hesitation or reserve. It felt good to have my best friend with me again…and to laugh so hard I cry.
The best thing about this new life is knowing what is enough and not setting expectations too high or so high they can’t be met.
Right now, this is enough.

It sounds like you’ve finally learned just to enjoy (and live in) the moment and not worry so much about the future or where you’re going. And that’s a good thing.
that was beautiful my friend. Glad to hear it.
Linda, I think that is my worst quality…I live in this moment too much and don’t look far enough ahead. Sometimes people like to know that I am going to be around in 10 years…even if we both agree there will never be a wedding. He had to know I wasn’t going anywhere.
Tabitha,
Thanks sweetie. It was a rough 3 days…and I know you understand!
