Vacation

Sedona, 9/22/2016

The shuttle bus dropped me off in front of a local hotel, I was delayed a bit in calling for my pickup because I lost cell service, finally I had one bar on the phone and was able to place the call.  I waited, and noticed I was shivering, I looked at my weather app.... 62 degrees.  Wow, 62 degrees it has been a long time since I was in anything other than hot, hot, hot!  My friends arrived and we hugged and cried and I danced happily in the hotel driveway while we loaded my suitcases.  The first thing I requested was food.  We ate and drank and hugged it was a great evening.  We returned to the house, sat outside and watched the stars peek through the clouds.  It has been five months since my friends and I have been face to face and I have lived a lifetime in that amount of time, I feel like a different person and the same one all at once. Sedona is beautiful, and I'm being spoiled and I will enjoy my time.  I've already cried today telling my friend about the last moments of Ryan's life.   Today I will be transitioning to Sedona life, and I will enjoy myself.  Ryan wherever you are I'm really on vacation today and I hope you are too.
