OK…..another week of digging over at The Sandbox Writing Challenge. We’re asked the following: If you could foresee one accomplishment in your future, what would you like it to be?
My first reaction and answer has to be, my children are my greatest accomplishment..being Blessed with the gift of being their mother is by far the most fulfilling part of my life……and how exciting it is to sit on the sidelines and watch as their lives and the lives of their families grow.
NOW onwards:
If this question was posed to me a week and a half ago, my answer would have been completely different then it is today. For today, if I was gazing into a crystal ball of my making, I’d see myself happily driving my Subaru, not north to the Eastern Shore of my past, but West to visit the Redwood National State Forest…..and visiting as many of the State Parks as I can along the way……….my gypsy soul is Awakening. It has been for some time, though with Jims death it became silent. I am finding as I continue on this journey of mine, as I continue to grow, my gypsy soul is finding its voice once again. It’s not loud. Right now it’s more like a soft, soothing melody, but I’m ready to start singing along.
Another accomplishment is the continued healing that’s occurring between my sister and I. As we continue our reunion it’s with the hopes that our other sister will find her way to open herself up and join us……….this reunion and healing that’s taking place is beyond anything I thought could happen and is so very cool 😎
May the journey of discovery and reconciliation continue. Pack that bag and hit the road! 😎
Thanksssss SOB 😊😎
😊
Be blessed on your journey.
Thank you!!! 😎
You are welcome.
Great forward going, Linda! Love the idea of the “Gypsy Soul”

Travel on, oh, gypsy soul. (love that phrase!)
😊😎 Thank You LuAnne!!
Your post today is so heartwarming, and I’m smiling from ear to ear for you, and your rediscovered gypsy soul, may you roll on and on. I’ve a Leonard Cohen song for you Gypsy Wife, the lyrics aren’t quite true for you, but it’s a gorgeous song.
😊😊😊 thank you Ivor and his voice is so mesmerizing!!!
Hopping up and down and clapping (which you have to know is HARD for me right now — lol) (but I haven’t fallen over yet!). Beth has the most beautiful eyes! I’m so glad you guys were able to get together!!! So exciting! ❤
Thanks C..and please don’t hurt yourself!!!! 😄
Too late! Didn’t have a halter on and one of the girls hit me in the eye and gave me a black one! 😉
Btw, you know you’re getting older when you start to refer to your bra and girdle as your “support group!”
LMAO
What an amazing journey, Linda. I think you should invest in a gaily decked out gypsy caravan and a horse for some of your journeying 🙂
I know Raili!! Calen and I were discussing gypsy wagons and if I could really pull that one off!!! 😊
And why not ?! I can just see you sitting up front, reins in hand, slowly meandering down forest girded lanes and tracks, revelling in the smells and the feels of what surrounds you 🙂 It’s a tan horse with a white mane and a star on her forehead 🙂 🙂 🙂
Ok…now I have to tell you as a child. my favorite horse was the Palomino…I always dreamed of having one and naming her Sunny :)))
Really?!!!! Wow 🙂 This has made my day 🙂 🙂 🙂
:))))
