Back Home Again
Hello, Friend. Nice to return to something that I like. Journaling, it's good for what ails you. Well, I made it back to Glen Ellyn. It's a long trip but this time uneventful and safe, just the way I like it. What a wonderful time of year, cool, green and lush. Saturday's goal, a five mile walk just to observe. Not much changes in Glen Ellyn from year to year. I guess that's why I like it. It's a place where people know one another, the shops are walking distance and the trains are my friends. Just like it was twenty four years ago when I moved here from Lincoln Park. Quiet and consistent, that's Glen Ellyn. My decision to become a Florida resident this year was a tough one, yet it's the right one. I'm going to turn my home over to Lauren and Patrick and see if they are adult enough to handle the opportunity and the responsibility. I trust both of them to do the right thing, make the right choices and launch themselves into the 'real world' successfully.
In order to do this, my plate is full. I have to downsize, clean out the years of accumulated stuff and, slow but surely, cut the ties to a town I absolutely love to call "home." I can do it. But it won't be easy.
