Sedona and I hit the road late this afternoon for Deer Creek State Park. Following snugly behind us was the new teardrop camper. It is nearly 9:30pm now and we are all settled in at our campsite. A cozy fire is burning, the crickets are serenading and Sedona is tucked away in bed! I think she wore herself out wondering and worrying about where we were going and 'didn't I know it was past her bedtime?!' The stars are spectacular tonight and I want to take a walk. Shall I wake my sleeping golden girl?Today is a loaded day: 1) Ron's mom died two years ago today. 2) Today is Ron's birthday. He would have been 56. He would have loved this camper. I love them both and I miss them so.
On the way here, just a hop-skip from Columbus, I was very cautious about changing lanes and yielding to those hell bent on weaving in and out of traffic. It occurred to me that 'yielding' is something I need to be better at in a variety of places in my life, not just on the highway. Right now, I am trying to yield to the moment, to breathing and not thinking about anything but the wonder of creation and the peace it brings.
Time to say good night to Bosomhundheit and walk into the night.

what a perfect way to spend this day. I remember that day, a few weeks ago. I wanted time to stand still so that I could rest in my memories awhile. It wasn't that kind of a day. I may have called you, but I don't know. Oh well, I'm glad you were right where you were!
Blesssings, Laura.
