Diane here...
Sitting in KC, under an almost full moon. Arrived safe and sound, staying at a beautiful green campsite about 15 minutes from Nick ~~ we get to see him tomorrow. (yeah ;-) )
I was thinking today how much I enjoyed a quiet walk in Iowa.
Something I am learning along the way ~~ I need quiet time. Alone time. I am an introvert, which means: though I love people, I recharge, refill, refresh, with quiet time. I think to some extent, this is true of each of us on this journey, (except our golden retrievers). Getting alone time can be a bit challenging in 31 ft of living space, esp. on travel days. Challenging to figure out. Alone time, quiet time , doesn't just happen. I (each of us) has to purpose to make it happen, and sometimes that can feel sort of awkward. I like you, I love you ~~ but I need to be alone for a bit. I am learning how to do this so I am not a grumphead. I don't want to be a grumphead. And I don't like feeling like a grumphead.
Another thing I am learning. How much I love love love Abby's cooking & creativity in the kitchen. OHMYGOODNESS. She can whip up a fantastic gourmet meal in a Mini-Maxine-Kitchen, effortlessly, and she fully enjoys the process. It's just another expression of the artistic person God designed her to be, and I'm so thankful for who she is. Did I mention she also enjoys grocery shopping??? I think I am in heaven. Seriously. Thank you Abby for blessing your mamma's socks off....
Just pondering.....
