Journey on...

Well, it's time for the annual trip that myself and four of my friends from high school take every year. This year, we're going to head to Idaho...thurs, fri, sat and sunday. My journey starts wednesday night. I take the bus from Astoria to Portland. Then my VERY best friend will pick me up at the greyhound station and we'll drive from there back to her home in Washington, which is actually on the way to Idaho. We'll get up Thurs morning and drive the rest of the way to Idaho, where we'll meet up with everyone.

As I plan for this trip, it occurs to me exactly how much it sucks to not have my car anymore. Well, my grandma's car actually. Moving on from that part of my life has meant completely starting over. No furniture, no car, not even any kitchen stuff. So, packing for this trip, I suddenly realize how carefully I have to pack since the first leg of the journey requires me walking to the bus depot from work and so I can only bring what I can physically carry, which isn't much these days. No bringing my own alcohol, or my own pillows, or a separate little Trader Joe's sack with my toiletries in it. LOL!

But it's all good. I'm where I'm supposed to be and will continue to let the universe guide me. I am loving being with my oldest son and his wife and my grandson. I adore the connections I've made in my new (temp) job.

And I feel myself, finally, healing. In the last year, I'd been on antibiotics six or seven times, could feel my physical health slipping away. And emotionally I experienced so much as well. Life has quieted down, and it feels sooooo wonderful.

It's given me a lot of time to think about many things.

And so the journey continues...
