This morning's reflections reminded me that this Thanksgiving holiday is the *first* Thanksgiving holiday that I've not "had" to travel in … some 34-ish years.
In these reflections I recognize that I miss Little Rita, my mom, in my own way … and yet, I do not miss all the traveling (and upheaval) that that relationship fostered. I also recognize the lengths that us two-leggeds will go to for LoVe. We're foolishly amazing. Or amazingly foolish. It all depends on the moment, methinks.
In this acknowledgement of shadow and light I walked into today's reality and into the mirror of this holiday week with a new gem of gratitude to light the path. And what a shiny gem it is.
Peace.

it is so interesting indeed, it is no fun traveling at holidays, i will be doing that, my drive will be 24 hours, with out breaks, hoping there won't be snow storms....

Love the flower- glad you had a calm holiday. Traveling to spend time with people who increase your stress level is always difficult, even if you care about them.
