 Good morning! Yesterday I entered Wyoming--I am definitely on my way to MA and VT!!!!

Yesterday was big spending day--a state park with a lake ($20), a dinner out ($20), gas ($60) and a motel ($70), so the next few days will be non-spending days--like 6 of them, oh well. I eat well, and sleep mostly well, get some walking in every day, and keep healthy. 

I am happy most of the time, and try to avoid the situations in which I feel missing family and friends (when everyone around me has them, like camping parks and tourist attractions). They work better if I can find single people to connect with. 

My son says I am a broken record about being alone, but he is never alone and I have been alone about 30 years! I would love to meet a single "soulmate" but the chances are about as good as astral projection, which I would really like and have been trying for years.

I wish you joy and peace in these challenging times, Alia

    Not a 'broken record' (more pejorative) so much as an ongoing koan (spiritual lesson/opportunity) for you to wrestle with in these last few years/decades... and presumably the coming years... barring a lovely surprise.

 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...

 At last I can write more--It has been a very long time!  I am now at Mackensie Bridge Oregon attending a Village Harmony singing camp for a week. The last week I spent in a campground near by, with trees over 100 feet tall--maybe even 150, since I paced one and got to where the tree had fallen across a road and was cut short at over 100 feet. It had the Mackensie river running through it, with most campers carrying kayaks and rafts--no one invited me to join them! I have realized that campgrounds are the most difficult because almost everyone is part of a couple, a family or close friends, so I miss my community more. When I drive or sleep in my car I do not feel so alone. Now I have many new friends, and received an offer to go to Washington State and have a free place to stay--maybe I will! The Pacific Ocean was beautiful, but cold for me, so I did not stay too long. I loved Crater Lake, where I took the trolley tour--a very good way to see it without driving!!! Then I had ...
