A terrific quote that I am fond of (but often forget) was just rekindled in my life. "In order to get from what was to what will be, you must go through what is." Such painfully true words that, looked at in an appropriate manner, can inspire me to trudge on. I must find who said that. It's on a red postcard here in my bedroom somewhere.

OK, I am off to catch this flight of mine in a few. I must say goodbye to the cat and kittens. That could take a while. They have really grown fond of my company in the past 5 weeks. Makes me feel not so lonely at night, which is always a good thing.

To those of you out there curled up under your blankets, reading poetry or philosophy by flashlight maybe, eating sugary little cookies and washing down everything with some yummy, warm chai goodness...enjoy. Mine will be a chai latte. But I know the feeling. That's why I can't forget that quote.

Talk to you all soon. Off to take my chances with the silver surfer in the sky.
