I made it! I'm at the Oregon coast, in a hotel room perched above the surf. Here in Newport, Oregon, it's officially Whale Watching Week. I will do my part!

The drive from Lake Oswego, south of Portland, to here, took me almost three hours. I'm pretty exhausted, but happy.

Great photo, Brina, you look happy to be on the west coast. I hope the trip is a good one. The west coast of Oregon, Northern California is beautiful. ( I have not been up to Washington, so cannot speak for them.) Glad to hear Polly is alright. Have to take care of our doggies!! Enjoy. xo Grace

Hey, good pic of you!
I'm trying to catch up in the few moments before the Attic, I just caught your heart reference.
I'm sorry to hear that things aren't so great in the romance department, if I understood things correctly.
But you sounded so ...philosophical and...thinking the right thoughts, lol I'm blanking for the words right now.
Just that you have the right p.o.v. outlook about things going on, and you'll be ok, and you know you'll be ok which is more important. :) xoxoLisa

Lisa dear, You are right in your assessment of my "heart" comment. I do sometimes feel lonely, but then, I was married for more than 20 years, and have only been solo for a little less than two years.

I'm a relational, loving person, and somehow I have set up my life so that the men (yes, plural) who matter the most to me are not here with me. However that happened, it means that at night I'm cuddling my stuffed animal, and I have to make an effort to see those whom I care the most for. It's just very different from being married and going to bed with your husband night after night after night...

You've also been divorced, so you know of what I speak!

On the positive side, I'd say that I've learned to sleep on either side of the bed! and I've learned that I can take a trip completely solo, like Portland trip, and not only survive but thrive.

But yes, in some ways my heart has been wounded by the romantic connections I've chosen to make.

I am reflective.

Thanks for caring!
Love, Brina
