I'm six months in to a new job that's been consuming my time, consuming me. I'm keeping it together, but I've had to sacrifice some of the things that really enhance joy. Like wading into the annual thrill (and trepidation) of the brand new members of this amazing extended supportive Mustang Family (Welcome! Your Mustang is going to love it in SLO and you are going to love this group!! Welcome, Welcome Welcome!!!).
While I'm as consumed and distracted as I've been in a long time, joy is seeping inwards from the entire periphery of my awareness.
Joy now? Why?
It's close enough to feel. Three weeks! Summer's coming and so is my Mustang.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! MY boy! 
This is may or may not be the last extended stay my Favorite Visitor spends with us - but I'm going to treat it like it is.
I. Am. Going. To. CHERISH. This. Summer.
I miss spending time in this wonderful page with this wonderful group and missing spending time with my son.
I miss y'all and I miss him. But in three weeks he'll be here and I am already bouyed.
Thank you for your unwavering support over the years; I love this Flock.
I wish all of you all of the happinesses this full experience brings, wherever you might be in this journey. Cherish every moment, even the hard ones.
The birds already out of the nest are thriving and those on the rim are about to FLY!
Cherish!
