Job well done! Relaxing after some enthusiastic gardening.
Is it really safe for me to say “the worst part is over?” Even though the one year milestone was more difficult that I was prepared for everything seemed clearer and better when it was finally over. I thought the day would drag on for centuries but the next morning when I woke up the last year and the future seemed to fall into some kind of new order. Manageable. I wasn’t expecting the brighter side to emerge so fast and I welcome it.
Now the upcoming trip to Kansas seems lighter and with a more comfortable purpose. It will be fun for Guy and I to be in Wellington and try to retrieve some bits and pieces of our childhood summers spent there. It’s beginning to feel like I am re-defining my family. The future will be built on new impressions of my past. In a way it feels like we will all be together again. Now I’m excited about organizing all of the photographs and it will finally be a pleasure to look at them once again.
