We do blossom...until a harsh wind or sudden storm comes upon us & pulls us apart & spins us out of control...& we drift & hope for a soft landing & peaceful end, broken into so many pieces we are unrecognizable. Maybe we will reseed and keep evolving and recreating; maybe we will die, never to be found. Maybe our foundation is so deeply rooted into the ground that no amount of wind, rain, or storms can uproot us, ever. Usually you just don't know until it hits.

Day 4, Month 5- "Pattern"
Some thoughts (none particularly anything more than random)...I'm hating the pattern of waking at 4:30 & need new sleep meds. This leads to a pattern of me on the couch when humans should be sleeping. It leads to another pattern of me thinking, "I wonder what yoga or Pilates we have on demand, maybe I'll do one..."- which of course takes me instead to the coffee pot & my book (another Adriana Trigiani, currently obsessed) under an old favorite comforter...while he sleeps & sleeps. Life could be worse...
One day I will get it all together, but that's definitely not going to be today!

"Hello/Goodbye"...Day 3
Clearly I am struggling with the whole graduation thing, it is so bittersweet. Heard an old school song this week, "Graduation," by Vitamin C...this line struck me as how I need to see it (and on good days, I do :))- "I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye~Keep on thinking it's a time to fly..."~enjoy the video!
(and I cannot figure out how to get this stupid background text highlighter unhighlighted when I accidentally land on it grrrrrr!)

"May Day"~ Month 5 Day 1
OHHHHHH the countdown has begun here...13 days of school left for her. 15 days until she turns 18. 28 days until graduation...
Day 30- "Flip Side"
I said trying 365- didn't say anything about consecutive days or on time :). Flip side...my cousin has been in Africa since October, volunteering. One great experience building a school, one not so great but she stuck it out. In between the two assignments she backpack travelled Africa- saw safari animals, Dave Matthews concert in South Africa & was also there when Nelson Mandela passed. If all stays on plan her flight took I off last night & she will hit the USA on the flip side today. <3 her & her bravery that borders on foolish!
p.s.~she is home safely!!!!
