While I haven't posted anything in a long time - I'm still here and doing well. It has been tough and we've been through the wringer - but it seems that I have finally emerged on the other side. We've gone through more transitions. Steph has gone back to work in a new job and after a lot of soul searching, I decided it was time to retire from the State Department. Saying that word, "retirement", still kind of sticks in my throat but I felt that it was time.
So, I'm figuring it out and adjusting to this, the next transition.
I planted a vegetable garden and I've been gratified to watch it flourish. I find it tough to describe just how much satisfaction I derive from this small garden patch.
Thanks again for all of the support, love, and encouragement - I wouldn't be here without it.
