Water under the bridge

lot of water has passed by since I decided to stop posting. I now live close to the ocean, on the Chesapeake Bay, in fact. Like living outside Washington D.C., I rarely visit the main draw for this area. The first time I walked on the Norfolk beach I thought I would never leave. I did a lot of traveling after that and then came back here. At my age, 73, it’s difficult to think about moving for a lot of reasons. I remind myself I am never satisfied and that the sirens of emergency vehicles don’t sound all day and/or all night. So, I stay where I am. 

Now that Mom is in a parallel universe, I feel a bit untethered. Technically, I’d like to feel totally untethered. While Mom was a rock, she was also a bit of a prison. 

I have no goal for this post. I’m checking my options and attempting to discover if there might be some value in returning to previous activities.
