I fear I have been remiss in posting here, not for lack of anything to say, but more for lack of time to put it all into words. Life feels busy to me, and fulfilling, if not without frustration - overall, it feels good, and whole.
But I’ve felt it coming for a while now. Vacation. The need for a break, for time to get away. It hasn’t been quite a year since my last vacation, but of course a whole heck of a lot has happened between now and then.
Probably for exactly that reason, the siren song of vacation has grown ever louder the past week or so. And now we’re down to it! This Friday, I will pack up and drive out to Nashville, to visit dear friends (fortunately, not seriously affected by the recent floods). I’m taking two days to drive there and another two to drive back. I’m looking forward to the alone time, the driving-time, the freedom of on-the-road time so much. And then I’m looking forward equally to the renewal of bonds of friendship, and godmothership!, in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
I’m going to take pictures, and write, and hopefully blog too. I’ll be finding the time to do this regularly again, very soon. But first I think I need this break, this pause.
