They're gone...and so am I!

Well, it is done. Both girls are off to college, are getting settled in and have started classes. Within the span of a week, we moved both girls to two separate campuses and said good-bye. It was definitely a bittersweet experience. I know they are ready and it is time, but I still marvel at how fast the time passed. At times during these past 18 years, it seemed that I would always be running after them, always have a mess to clean up and never have any time to myself. While I do still have a child at home, I do not have 3 at home, which is a HUGE difference. I have never had 1 child at home. NEVER. I was blessed with 2 the first time, so we have always been a group.

It is quiet now. Quiet. Hmmm.....I'm not sure that I like it. I like times of quiet, but I also like a houseful of people. I guess I'll get both now - just more quiet than full for most of the time. I can deal with that.

I said they are gone, but the really good news ;-) is that I am, too! I am back out on the road running. I have had to sit out for the last couple of months due to some tendonitis in my foot that just refused to go away. It feels good to be back out there. I have needed it. Nothing replaces the feel of running. There's something about being out there on the pavement in the open air.

I am still working on becoming more regular with this blogging thing. I am never sure which direction to take. So, I am going to start blogging most days about life and the many turns it is taking. Hopefully, whoever might read this will enjoy, relate to and possibly find some encouragement in it. We are, after all, in this thing called life together.

:-)

Until next time, or should I say "tomorrow",

Robin
