The morning was overcast and drizzly when I got off the airplane. I longed for my own bed and pillow, but the air of Kauai. My little kitchen in Plano, but kaula pig with steamed cabbage. Reading in my big bed, but sitting on the lanai at the cottage (photo above was taken from the lanai) hot bubble bath , and the soft, blue waters of Poipu Beach.....so many contradictions.
It is great being home, and sad at the same time.
While away, we played, smiled, went to church, swam in blue waters, took drives in the rain, giggled at newlyweds, had a massage, drank Cristal Champagne, watched turtles, cooked dinners in my little cottage kitchen, took daily hikes......gosh. I have 20 more things to tell of, but jet lag is hitting me about now.
When I am tired, I process things very badly. I AM happy to be home....but a part of me always gets left at our little summer cottage.
What happened while I was away? Joseph, wrote me notes from Switzerland and France, Jami and Lauren kept me posted with "home", I loved hearing about the children of friends starting school....and I loved knowing that even while we were all so far apart. Love and life continues in the most amazing way...
The laundry pile is slowly shrinking, I need a nap, Libby is HOME and Larry had 400 emails when he went back to work at 8 this morning...I guess the vacation is over, Till NEXT time!
May the blessings of this day touch your heart and let you smile.
Love you!

I Love Being Home, and I Hate Being Home

Glad you are home safe. I am home from a trip too and totally agree it is Bittersweet. But there is always a next time or an upcoming trip to look forward too.
i have missed your outlook on life and your words of wisdom. Here or there I always love reading what you have to say. I know Libby is besides herself with joy at having you back.
