Cool

61 and light showers, my kind of day. Apparently not only my kind as the frogs are out of the water and can sit on rocks without baking, the fawns are racing around the pond and the geese are putting on their own air races. It seems like the last 3 or 4 months have been so hot and dry. Not just the physical weather, but emotionally and spiritually as well. People, things, situations all moving so fast. Scorched like rockets on re-entry. Somehow now, cool equal slow, wet equals refreshed. This morning is aloe on a sunburn. And for that I am grateful.  I hope this lasts for a while, as the burns don't heal overnight. I need to build up some some....vitality? (Best word at the moment) for the next scorching. In 50 days my #2 is shipping out for training and a new life. He has made the best XO, calm, cool, capable, careful, compassionate. Just lacking in worldly experience. I still can't comprehend daily life without him. Today my pride and excitement for him is still outweighed by my self-pity. 50 days to tip the scales. I guess in the meantime it's fake it till you make it.
