the battle is won, but the war has been in danger of being lost!
no, no, not faluja or bakuba - but our own little piece of turf! being in miami is teaching us not to be 'heavy' - laden down with the burden of getting well, staying on track, and keeping life moving. jane is well, and we're realizing that we still have a lot of 'weight' (baggage) that we need to jettison!
so, lots of jogging! walking! outdoor dining by the pool! ahhhh, it does feel good - perfect sunshine, a pristine environment, freedom for the kids, and for us too! could this be the page-turner that we are hoping it will be? is it a self-fulfilling prophecy?
yesterday, after a rigorous workout al fresco, we head to the beach for a raucous day of frenzied socializing ... debbie and michael, rona and henry, dani, and a gaggle of kids from toddlers to teens to young adults all relishing the sun, the beach, each other. an endless supply of non-gebrocht food (don't ask!), cabanas, jet-skiing, communal dinner, apartment doors opening and closing ... riotous actually, and quite hysterical! we regale ourselves with morbid tales, making our trivial stories miniscule and inconsequential. we laugh and eat manischewitz chocolate cake out of the foil tin, the wine flows, and the day passes ... so much fun!
we return home zonked and happy, feeling light and airy - a good day, everyone without the weight of the world on their backs. getting back to that place we need to be ...
