Day One of Me



I've landed.  I'm here.  I'm alone....but lonely isn't always sad.  To be honest I haven't stopped smiling since I landed.  Once at the hotel, I dropped my bags and walked straight into the water.  The water which there aren't enough words to describe the blue of.  How clear and transparent it is.  How beautiful and untouched the emptiness of it is.  And as I stood there in the ocean all I could hope for is that one day I will look in the mirror and feel the same way about myself.

One year ago today he and I were checking into The W in Seattle.  We unpacked our things, on our separate beds, and agreed to bear through the holiday with the occassional hand holding and smiling.  And one year later here I am, checked into a hotel on my own, scratching out the "Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Miller" and laying in the sun realizing that I have never been happier...yes, there are things that I want but cannot have or am not ready for...but it's okay because this trip is about figuring those things out. 

Someone I know often reminds me to "enjoy the journey", today I most definitely am.
