Gratitude


There's not been a single day when we haven't realized how blessed we are, and how much we have to be thankful for.  What an amazing seven weeks this has been, an opportunity to see the country, to meet so many people, to revisit old friends.  We celebrate every day that we have the health and the means to explore our wonderful world.   
I am not looking forward to rejoining the race, and am trying to figure out how to bring this calm detachment and engagement back with me to Trilogy.  True, Shea has another law suit against us (a counter claim asking the courts to set aside the judgement we won against them) and I'm not looking forward to banging horns against them again.  Just go away and leave me alone.
On the one hand, I want to be engaged, contribute to our community, our synagogue, our shalom club, AIPAC, various charities we are involved with.  But it is also nice not to be so involved.
If it is possible, and it is, I'm more in love with Stu, more appreciative of his sense of humor, understanding of the limitations that come with growing older together.  I do miss my friends, sharing with them what I wouldn't share on the blog, but the little I've checked in with the news makes it very clear that the more things change, the more they remain the same.
Interesting that we have found the same complaints about politicians, leadership, education, just about everywhere, nothing unique to Phoenix area, or even to the states.  And, amazing, the world is getting along the same (for better or for worse) without me.
Big thing on my mind, writing a cook book, that is really a life style book, with my dear friend Lisa from Amelia Island (Lisa, are you paying attention?).
Life is good, photos to follow, home in two weeks.
Much love, A.
