It's 1:30 in the morning. The house is quiet and I hear the gentle hum of the fan and Abe's steady breathing next to me. I cherish moments like these; resting in the eye of the hurricane.
Today has been a very productive day. I got to cross quite a few things off my To Do List. It feels really good! My stress level is slowly being brought under control.
I can't tell you how many thoughts, feelings and emotions I have swirling around inside of my heart and my head as I think about leaving on Friday. It's difficult to think of leaving the life I have here, behind, and starting a new one in Hawaii. Make sure you don't misunderstand me. I am starting a new life, not cutting you, my friends, out of it. I need each of you probably more than you will ever know. You are my family!
I think of each one of you and the time we have gotten to share together. Whether you're from Alaska, Ghana, Kansas City, Liberty or St Paul, I remember you. You helped me to become the woman I am today. When I get on the plane, Friday, I do not leave you behind but I carry you with me in my heart. If I find a forever home in Hawaii, I extend an open invitation to come and visit me in paradise. I hope you will take me up on it!
