Island time

 What did vacation teach me?

I’m being taught that waiting is a worthwhile pursuit. I’m learning that people want to connect. They want to help you. They will see your heart. They want to love you. Let them. I’m learning that I’m more than capable. My heart loved Nantucket, my soul was Martha, my mind a Hyannis. What troubled my heart at the time becomes the memory I most treasure. I miss riding the ferry everyday. It gave my mind and body two hours of forced rest just watching the ocean. I’m still pinching myself. God is good even when I am not. Nature is the only salve that always reminds me of where I stand.

  1. It sure sounds like you had a wonderful vacation. I know it is difficult to come back home to normal routines after a great time away like that. But you do have such pleasant memories to treasure in your heart/mind/soul now. Did you or anyone take any pictures while there? I hope so.

    The locale and your vacay sound delightful.

  15. How wonderful to be able to enjoy the ferry, I usually get sea sick so I can't enjoy boat rides that much
