I assume because I have been working on a great new project I have neglected writing as often as usual. Then again, writing ebbs and flows.
I am very excited to be working on the Big Texas Rally for Recovery in Austin to take place on October 1, 2011 (www.texasrecovers.org). At the same time I miss my little Sonshine while I am on the road.
Today while making my usual trek up I-35 I stopped at a roadside park for a few moments. I watched as a woman parked in front of me got out of her car then opened the back door. She helped an older woman out of the car. I assumed it was her mother. She held her hand as she walked up the sidewalk.
It occurred to me how much better I am doing today than I was a year ago. It also struck me things will never be the same. There will be occasions the rest of my life that I see a glimpse of a scene I miss. And memories will flood my heart. Seeing something we once did, flowers that I know she would love or just having an experience I long to tell her. Likely, life will always be that way. My gratitude hangs in having had those times to remember. And I feel so blessed to have had such wonderful and loving parents.
I will write again soon. Once I am quiet and hear that still, small voice that guides me to the place where my creativity lives.
Soak up Spring!

Yep. You will write again. You don't have a choice. You are a writer. A very good one. I still miss my parents and it's been decades. I take that as a tribute to them as your memories and your writings are to your parents.
