"you can't stop the waves from coming at you but you can learn how to surf"
Words to me from the wisest and most loving person I know.
My absence from blogging these past few months can't really be explained well.
Writer's block, maybe?
Lots of thoughts swirling in my head, but not able to put pen to paper.
And then there were the waves...
Unexpected illness of my Mom.
Tropical Storm damage to our home.
Financial uncertainty.
Progressive erosion of our country's culture.
Further decline of our healthcare system.
But then I popped up.
And balanced my stance on that board feeling the wave beneath me.
Experiencing its strength as I was propelled forward in the surf.
Salt air, ocean, warmth, freedom, purity...
Find your wave.
And hold on to it.
