My wonderful friend Bri has graciously put me up for a few nights while I am visiting her in Paso Robles and concluding my business here. It is always fun to visit with friends and especially to stay with them as you get the late night talks and the early morning conversations while feeding the dogs and getting the child or children off to school. Her son Chris is 4 and we are having a great time reading books and learning what he will and won't eat. I find it fun and insightful to be around th e everyday things thta my friends do that I am not usually around to see. It makes me feel more at home with them. Well, I guess I should.
I have seen a lot of old friends over the last few days and wish I had time to see more but I didn't get to. I took a drive that was my favorite one and know that I probably won't get back this way anytime soon. This chapter of my life is over but I am moving forward to a new part and parcel. It will be interesting where I land.
The trip I am on has taken many turns. I have learned that when you travel as in life, you need to take things in stride, find the good in everything and move on when it isn't.
I am leaving friends behind here that I sorely miss. There are beautiful places that I picture in my mind that I can take with me along with times and conversations with those friends. Until I grow old and senile I will have those too. My grandmother once said you really only have your memories when you are old to keep you comfort. So, I am going to make many more memories of all kinds of places and interesting people along the way.
But I will miss my friends and Paso Robles that I once called home.
