Where has June gone?

It is a Monday and I am looking at the end of June. Next weekend we celebrate July 4th and that is the middle of summer!

I have entered into a different phase of my life....before I would be thinking about home and the keeping of it. Now...I want to simplify and allow for more free time and spontaneous adventures. I am trying new things and allowing myself some freedoms that have not existed in my life before. To be responsible for myself alone and to let go of worry fret and past pains. My girls are grown and have so much wisdom on their own...they do not need to look to me for answers or solutions. We are more travelers together on this journey and less the parent/child role. That does not mean I love them less or care less, but the ache at their absence is more a~ setting them free~ to sail their own seas...

Now I will not tell you that I do not have days where I terribly miss my little girls ~ but I love the women they have become and we are mostly at a place where we can laugh and celebrate life and let the little things fade away. We have helped each other through some rough waters and as long as they realize that~ no matter where I am, they are welcome to "bump up along side my vessel" and step on over for some good times and grand adventures, anytime!
