Temporary Farewells

 My son flew back to college today. As we crossed the bridge the sun was setting over Manhattan and it looked so magical. We had a short holiday visit with our son because he spent time with his girlfriend and her family in Rhode Island. These short visits are bittersweet. They are not long enough and the time goes by too quickly. Trent has another full semester ahead of him. He works part-time and seems quite happy with his life. 

Trent's departure marks the end of our holiday season. Jonathan and Winter go back to school tomorrow. Brooke is staying home this semester to work and take an online class. 

I have enjoyed the break but I am ready to put my house back in order! 

Today I am grateful for

1. The beautiful sunset over the Manhattan skyline.

2. Time spent with my family.

3. Feeling better from vertigo.

4. A brief nap

5. Being able to navigate city traffic without stressing so much.
