Oh, the dance of being present in the moment while being aware of what has passed and trusting what the future will bring. Sometimes we want it to be a gentle waltz, but sometimes it comes as a jitterbug! You may not aways feel adept with all the moves, but I know you are intentional about choosing the music; the harmony, the rhythm, the melody and the pitch!
Having lived 65 years with Janet in three homes and one condominium in Edmonds, close to the Salish Sea, the time has come to move on. The firsts began with a blind date romance, the latest with Janet gone and eyes wide open with memories The condo goes on the market in a week. The last few weeks have been a joy watching the family relive the many objects that help shape their years . They sort and share. Some to their homes, some to charities, some to recycle...and a very few to fill the limited space in a nearby care facility for myself. Photos, so many photos and so few walls,

Beautiful metaphors. I wonder where I get my love of words from? 😉
Wishing you peace this week with the move!
Thank you SO much!

Wow! What a significant life moment to reflect on. Sending big love as you take these steps forward.
I love this poem Jenny! And I think it's great that you included the picture, a real heart wrencher!
I’m thinking of you as you move forward. Thinking we might see you a little more often in Bend. Live what your mom wrote b
