Gleaning.

Reading my daughter's words of wisdom below brings me to tears..... haven't cried in a while. Surprised?  It is true. I realized something today...... I've been afraid to "let go" of home because I don't want to feel loss again.

In reality, my life alone was beginning; I was carving a path, even though I felt like I was spinning my wheels the first 18+ months. There was motion and the movement was necessary, nurturing me to another point in life. Friendships were growing and I was adjusting to new activities......

Instead I embraced a path of purpose, putting everything I say I have faith in, to the test. A friend texted today about how life goes by too quickly; I told him I live everyday with that in mind, not motivated by fear but fueled with the future....... I often wonder if I can do this.

I've shared very personal things with you and I will continue..... what might be revealed in the next few weeks, may be raw emotions.... again. This new apartment has given us a sanctuary of sorts, a place of peace that is offering another opportunity......Good things will come from my "gleaning."

Big 3 day pre-Houston tournament this weekend with Team Rockstar in Anaheim. Lots of Cali teams and others come to play for "points", so we'll get a preview of JO's. Tomorrow Logan plays a team from WI:) Austin's enjoying use of the Toyota while his sister is away:) Got some playing on the beach in today!

Chynna's enjoying rekindling her East Coast connections with a pre-Rumble party tonight:) The giggles of my nieces she texted on video today light up my life; I can't help but smile......

Wondering what establishing roots will look like here.......
