back in the Saddle again
Back in Seattle! Yep.
I’ve been back a couple of months from the ship life and I’m definitely settling in nicely to being back on land. It’s amazing how quickly you learn to appreciate the things that you truly value the moment they are taken away.
When I was on the ship the world spun so fast you didn’t have much time to think about what you missed, and probably a good thing at that. If you’re anything like me, its the simple things of life I missed: having brunch with friends on a Sunday afternoon, or going to the movies, or laying in the grass and simply watching the clouds roll by. These things were not options when aboard a vessel that never stops moving.
Why back in the saddle again? Our family lost our matriarch, my grandmother, in mid-December. It was such a joy to be with my family in Vermont to celebrate, and share stories about her life and impact with all of us. This event was my impetus to leave the ship life and return to Seattle. I had ‘clean-up’ to do with the biz and Seattle life that had basically been on-hold while I was on the high seas.
I’ll be moving into my first non-transitory home in 2 years at the end of May. So chez Linda’s guest space in Seattle will be open again. I’m excited to still be living in the city and have the space for some great dinner parties with a very nice view of the city. So stay tuned for that!
If you’d like to be in touch know that the 0000 phone # is cancelled but my old #’s from living in Seatle before have not changed. I’m still settling into the city so please be in touch if I haven’t had the chance yet. Hugs all the way round the world to my friends who now are spread from Romania, to Trinidad, from St Maarten to Ensenada, from South Africa to Australia. Such amazing people! I look forward to staying in touch.
