I won't be continuing this journey with Sally in 2014. I need to focus on my job and where that is taking me this year.
I'm traveling to Switzerland to teach and I have to focus on preparations for that. I've never been to Europe and I hope to spend an extra 2 weeks when I'm done teaching to do some more traveling. As long as I'm there, why not? I'll also be teaching in Oklahoma this spring so I'm going to be busy.
I also want to say this journey for 2013 has been fun. My life hasn't been easy and I may seem sad and lost at times. And I probably am. But for the most part I try to portray myself as someone that has it all together. And I do, most of the time. I've learned to embrace my solitude. After all, it's been given to me so I may as well make the most of it, right?
With that said, I'm leaving you with these two photograph's I took today. It was lovely, temps were in the low 30's and I wanted to go snowshoeing. I enjoy going alone and today was a perfect example of why. If someone had been with me I would not have taken the time to play in the snow and make spirals. I wouldn't have taken the time to take over 50 photo's. I would not have enjoyed the solitude of this grand winter day.
Carry on my friends, may 2014 be good to each of you.
We'll miss you, Donna, but it sounds like you have some exciting plans for 2014!
