Life before 2008 24 Mar 2007 08:35 am
Eight Hours.
This morning I awoke knowing the last time my eyes were o_en, it was bedtime, eight hours before. It was my first full night of rest in nearly 3 years.
Today my _lans include a walk on the beach and to mess around with some new oil _aints. When I get home, I do so solemnly swear to order a new keyboard and regain the use of the letter that comes after “o”. You don’t know how much you miss something until it’s gone LOL. ;-).
I’ve got some old friends and some new friends today. A day full of sun. New art stuff and folks around who can hel_ me out here and there on how to use it should I need some guidance. Breeze. FANTASTIC food. I had the freshest shrim_ I’ve had in years last night, golden bright and tangy key lime _ie, some kind of heavenly cranberry concoction involving a lovely little _roduct called “Southern Comfort”, _izza hot and fresh from the oven, big bowls of granola and berries drizzled in raw honey….all tem_ered with long bike rides and serene yoga sessions.
I miss my babies and that gorgeous man. Slee_ing alone is restful and wonderful but that best friend of mine may be better. Hairy legs next to mine and a comforting _resense and all that. I love vacations that bring out the best in me and remind me of how great a life I really do have. Sometimes fatigue can make one loose sight…or at least make the view a little bleary.
Someone gave me the gift of rest and _eace and clarity, friendshi_, laughter, and light. (Geez! That would be so much better looking with the _ro_er letters!) I feel it as crystal as the sun glints on the ocean. May my thankfulness grow to be as vast.

I am so pleased for you! What a well-deserved break. And, sleeping through the night - how amazing!

A full nights sleep is a cause for celebrationg! You are in the perfect place to celebrate. I always say, about vacations or weekend getaways, “It’s fun to go and it’s fun to come home.”
Love the pic of you on the bridge!
