The retirement travel continues. I was mainly home in November, and it was a good stop. I had time to catch up with my home life, and it was an unexpected joy. I hadn’t realized how much of my brain was filled with working until that spot emptied.
I have four trips planned before the end of the year. This trip is a New Mexico lark. My friend Abby has a gallery opening this weekend, and I’m flying over to celebrate with her.
For years my best friend and I traveled to New Mexico every Advent. When my grandson was born in the middle of Advent, we moved our annual trip to New Mexico until Epiphany. It feels like a reunion of sorts to have a few days in New Mexico during Advent. Although Advent doesn’t begin until Sunday, I’ve transferred the season a few days early.
I’m ending the long green season of Pentecost today. The short blue season of Advent is upon us.
What will this season of quiet, pause, and open ears and hearts bring?
