Yesterday ; we are on a journey!
Yesterday we booked our flights to Rio de Janeiro to visit our beloved youngest daughter. Mostly, It is was a momentous occasion. However, it was a little disconcerting for my husband particularly; as the cost even with the so called reductions due to the oil prices was still more than he hoped! So this put a damper on the event for a moment or two.
Then for me, the count down towards the visit is bitter sweet; while I long for the day of our arrival, our subsequent departure also looms painfully!
So I am learning to be measured as regards the future-ness of it all and try to make each moment before as joyful as those we spend in Rio! So the next five months will be part of the journey ; I hope!
So this morning, the day begins clear, blue with tinge of pink … a pot of pu’erh and some mixed media; somehow there is a theme of tea … how can this be?
So AJ we are on the way … the journey begins today.

Rio – wow! Pleeeeease blog your adventures while you are there.
I will to be sure … xxx
I too have the ‘looming departure’ blues when my beloved son flies back to Dubai… I have been trying to plan something really special for myself immediately after he leaves…something that reminds me that I am still ME…it’s really hard…good luck!
Yes … It seems we must allow ourselves to be kind to ourselves … I come from a generation who ‘must grin and bear it’ stiff upper lip and all that … so it is hard as you say … Love to you !
