This journey....

August, 2008... My husband took this photo on our last trip to Port Aransas. Stepping away from the computer and schedules we'd take time out to just walk the beach, holding hands... listen to the ocean and talk about our future... The first summer after he was gone my daughter, her husband and two dogs went with me. Last summer, I went alone. This summer... I don't know what it will look like, I just know I'm going.

I look at this girl in the photo and it's not the same person I see when I now look in the mirror. The girl in the photo has eyes which dance, filled with love for life, and for the man behind the camera...

Th girl I see when I look in the mirror, her eyes are filled with questions on what her future is all about. Who is she now that she stands alone, without the man who filled her life with love?

I pray that the sound of the ocean next month will bring peace... listening to the silence to find balance...
