God, Steph!! You are such a terrific writer, one word: publish! (I’ve a read more than a dozen novels down here in the hothouse since Feb to pass the time, and your writing is as good as any of the great writers I’ve been reading)
I too have been on a journey since Feb. 1st, in a new place, and I too can relate to the “temporary situation” syndrome (note to self: TSS as a new disorder, what will they pay me to make up the pill for it?). Altho Ken ordered me to unpack EVERY box as soon as we got to Delray Beach (new “temporary” home), I still feel completely “temporary” here, with one foot in Fla and the other back on the North Shore.
Thanks for another inspiring post, and you are welcome here anytime my friend.

My darling girl…such a brave face that is hard to have sometimes. Like your folks, I am proud and sometimes stunned by your writing…I enjoy each new entry and look forward to them. Love the strength you have….

Stephanie – Do you realize it took me over five decades to get to the insights you’ve just expressed? In my struggle, I’ve often thought that if I ever really figured things out I’d be obliged to write a book – but you are writing that book, and it sure doesn’t hurt that it is illustrated with the most breath-taking photographs.

Steph—-
I keep being amazed at how eloquent and profound you are in these writings…your comment that begins “when one’s existence… ” especially is almost like those quotes of famous people you see in the magazines. I have been waiting, not ver ypatiently for this posting….

Love, MOM

Thanks girls and boy. I’m so glad considering it took me a month to write it.

Meera, I have to spread the wealth.
Liz, I fear writing anything anywhere in the vicinity of Meera.
Matt, long-distance virtual hugs are fine too!

I loved the post too. I’d really like to give you a hug, but what with the distance between us (oh the poetry) that’s not so easy I guess. I’ll tell Ann to give you a hug from me.

what a beautiful post.
and i hate writing comments after the ever-eloquent Meera because anything i want to say never, ever matches her words.
however, i’ll say this… i’m glad you’re experiencing everything rather than waiting for it to end. i can’t say how long it would have taken me… perhaps i’d be home by now?
