As I sit here patiently awaiting the cab that will whisk me away to the Grand Bahama Airport on my way back home to the Bluegrass State .... I am both very sad and very anxious. Sad to be leaving such a beautiful, peaceful, calm summer existence .... Anxious to re-acclimate to my life back in Louisville, Ky.
I have had a wonderful summer here in my adopted country. I have been to Banana Bay to stick my toes in the turquoise blue water more than I can count ..... I have boated in the canals while gazing at all of the beautiful homes on the shore ..... I have exercised, eaten well, hung with friends and generally lived a blessed 5 1/2 weeks. Now it is time to get back to the reality that is my life in Louisville.
Even though Louisville, to me, represents a modicum of stress and a lot of craziness .... I am looking forward to hugging my children and planting a big sloppy kiss on my husband's mouth! I can't wait to see my friends this weekend and listen to a great Louisville band.
I am so thankful to my family for allowing me to have some 'me' time this summer. I'm not sure that I have had any great personal epiphanies or philosophised much .... but I have reflected on all the people and places that I love and have loved in my life and I come away from my summer hiatus a more centered and incredibly appreciative person.
I have the best, most selfless and understanding family in the entire world and I think they take the following saying very seriously ... "If Momma ain't happy .... ain't nobody happy" !! And the simple fact that they have allowed me the time to re-energize and to find my smile again is something that I will always cherish.
Happily Homeward Bound ..... :)
