Well the long run is over. I go to work tomorrow. Now I get to find out what a 520 commute is really like. I am going to cut grass and trim shrubbery. I have not worked for a long time. I have to say that I've enjoyed myself. I am grateful not to be in Florida any longer. I am grateful to now be in Washington state. I am grateful for the time I was given to accompany my mother and to visit with the family. I am grateful for the whole time and I am grateful to be (somewhat of) a different person than the one who left Florida so long ago. I am grateful to find out what a good little dog Tara could be. Who would have thought? I am also grateful for the assistance I recieved from my dear friend Tracy. I've learned that I don't have to live like a college student any longer. What a concept. I am also grateful for the people I will be meeting here in the future. Thank you.
