Yesterday I stomp around the house cussing at the cell phone, the dishes, the broken plumbing, the dead turkey.  All of the emotion bubbles up in me.  I am tired of being sick even as I start to feel better. And today, this morning my body is calm and I am grateful to my family for their willingness to be with me.

The east coast family clean the house, do laundry, put away stuff while they pack and load their car. They leave my house in better shape than when they arrived. And still the upset arises in me.

I am liking HORSE. Learning more about horses. Usually, I can’t read slave stories set in the time of the civil war.

Today the former teenager returns to her college housing.  She too is packing and sorting and spending time with me before she leaves. The sun is out and soon I will sit outside and warm up my clothes.
