Well I had such a darn good time on my “Running Away from Home” trip that I decided to “run away” again. With my husband this time.
The first stop is a tough one. We’ll be spending July in Cincinnati, Ohio – our hometown – for the first time without my mom there – and closing up her apartment. It’s an end of an era.
In August, we are treating ourselves to two weeks in the Berkshires. We’ll celebrate both our birthdays and our anniversary there.
In September, we head to New York City and for the first time, we will have a whole month to enjoy our New York based sons and their families.
I like to think of myself as part of the “Elastic Generation” – a term I read about recently in the New York Times. It’s defined as living according to how I feel, rather than how I ought. It’s not rebelling but it is re-inventing, welcoming change, stretching the boundaries and challenging the status quo. And accepting what is.
I’ll be back weekly in October – reporting faithfully on the paths I followed, who I met on the way and what I learned in the process.
And if you want to keep track of my wanderings, check me out on Instagram. And please share your journey with me too through your comments.
Until then, keep Preserving Your Bloom – just as I will be doing too.
