Summer and excessive heat have given way to cloudy skies, 70 degree temps and a brisk feeling in the air. If I take a few deep, cleansing breaths and really concentrate, I might talk myself into smelling a bonfire off in the distance and imagine myself in a fleece and mittens. :) The fall weather is making me want to do Spring Cleaning! Texas has proven itself to us the past 14 months to be a place of new beginnings, new friends and jobs, unexpected closeness and solid relationships with family and many surprising twists and turns on this road trip. We know that our future, wherever it may be, will hold our new friends close to our hearts and in our lives in some capacity.
Now that the chaos of the past six months seems to be lifting and dissipating, Scott and I are about to begin yet another new journey together. Some of our "travels" have led us astray from the one commonality that we have shared from the beginning -- our deep lov
e of the city --yet the recent detours have been educational, eye-opening and inspiring. Thankful for one another at the beginning and end of each day and feeling blessed in our lives, we have decided that this journey is about to take a turn on our Life Road. With few regrets about our time in the Land of Cowboy Love, the time has come to ponder what the future has in store.Will it lead us back to the Windy City? Will this little family unit expand? Will our roots continue to extend into the earth here in Dallas County? Will my book be published? Will Scott go to culinary school? Will I go to dental school? Will a new puppy join us? Perhaps a kitty? An adopted child? All possibilities that could have a happy ending. In the words of my father, "Good things come to those who wait." If waiting is to teach patience, then please know that we breathe and bleed patience and understanding, all in hopes of gaining wisdom and the ability to persevere in any and every situation and circumstance.
We know. We have a plan. In due time, and in both small and grand doses, we will begin to share what is happening.
Stay tuned.
Until again,
~Red
