Day -10

Do you know why a bicycle can't stand on it own? (see below)

Do you know why the baker became a thief? (see below)

It is getting real! However, changing to the day after Memorial Day has been a reprieve. It means I have time for fun things, like a last trip to the beach, my Spanish lessons, uke practice, painting etc. And really good packing for the trip and closing up my  home here. I have to say that my helper and friend Kristie is making it so much better, moral and literal support when I get weak in all ways.

1) "It's just too tired."

2) "Because he kneaded the dough"

Now I must go tend my garden--watering and weeding. Blessings to you, Alia

 Hooray! I made it! I arrived yesterday about 8:30 AM, having woken at 5AM.

This is short, but I shall write my epilog soon. Sending love, Alia

 Dear Voyage Followers, I am home in Florida and 3/4 unpacked and resettled, so I guess it is time to end this segment of my life's voyage; Coming home has it's challenges, but it is working, inch by inch. In some ways it is good to be back--in other ways, sad. I shall miss the journey, the friends old and new, and getting to know my relatives better. As beautiful and as wonderful this country is, the most special part of my trip was the personal connections, and the memories of each one. I can't really explain what was so special about the voyage, or why I am missing it so much. Back home, I am enjoying reconnecting with my friends here, (and all my doctors and other practitioners). I am healthy though often light-headed. I think I need structure--too much "nothing" in my life. I love reading and tending my little garden, but once I am settled I will need more. It is my intention to continue writing weekly, perhaps for my own sake, but welcome readers who wish to...

 It has been a long time since I wrote in my blog. I have been in MA for almost 3 weeks!!!  The time has been spent in chilling out, going to 2 movies, (Barbie and Jules), seeing family, (Jon, Angie, Jack, Karuna 3 times, Sarah, John), and several dear friends and 2 music groups, while staying with my alternative family in Amherst. I am enjoying cooking, reading and some TV, as well as getting my car checked out and fixed for my trips to VT and then my return to Florida the middle of October. I am so grateful to Sukey and Rhett and Ellen, who have made my stay here so blessed, and for all the friends and family who have made time to see me. I also have much gratitude for all those who hosted and helped me on my 10.000 mile trip and who will be helping me for the next 2,000 miles until I get home to Florida. I send love to each of you.
