My sister and I spent the evening making Cd's out of old LP albums. She is giving them as a gift to her friend for his birthday. Tomorrow we go to her grand daughter's confirmation a couple hours north of here, so we finished our evening trying on clothes and jewelry and asking each other's opinion. I haven't done anything like this in years! It reminded me of when we were teenagers and shared adjoining bedrooms.
It is a much more feminine world here. That will take some getting used to, but it does make me feel more like a woman and somehow also younger. I think I might have been settling in as the old woman in the mountains, rather isolated and alone. It felt right at the time, but I'm not really ready to be a crone yet.
My friends have been calling, wanting to talk and get together. I will never be part of my old world again, but I am in the neighborhood, a weary traveler come home. I am tired, amazingly tired, but I feel so good.
I"m glad I'm here.
