This will forever be a favorite shot of mine, a heart in the trees hanging over Mahogany Oaks.
One of the hardest things about the pandemic for me was not being able to get over to see Mike and John, the same way that I could get over to see Stew, Eric and the Dupre Street gang.
I wasn't going to ride my bike across the Causeway!
Even so, I was grateful that Joan and I were able to get over to hang out at the tail end of the Mardi Gras Season this year.
We sure did have some fun and make some memories.
I was also grateful that I was able to get over prior to my August departure.
Where there's a will there's a way...most of the time.
With all the change everywhere brought on by the virus, it can be hard to find a way even if you have the will.
The bottom line is that very little about any of this is in our control AND it can change in a heart beat.
I am very grateful that my will to get home to Cadrieu was rewarded with a way to get myself here. That doesn't mean it was easy. Each step along the way could have meant a return for me.
Fortunately, I am here.
My sister, Kat, and I speak regularly. She always says how happy she is that I was able to get back. Yesterday, as the insanity in the states continues we talked about how hard it is to "hover!" I told her that I really feel like I am in the very best place I can be if you have to be hovering. From here, I can envision a gentle landing at some point.
We agreed.
From the states these days, it looks more like a crash landing, than a gentle one.
I wish all of us a very sweet and gentle landing from our "hovering" no matter where we are in the world.
Happy Thursday!
