It is the morning of a new year.  I awoke with a New Year’s resolution of writing everyday, even if it is just a few words, either on this blog, on my notes or hand written.  

I sit now at my little antique desk looking out at the sun coming up over the mountains.  I am in my new home, Tom’s father Marvin’s home in Candler North Carolina.  When ever walk through his door after my travels, Marvin greets with a “Welcome home”. I am so grateful to have Tom and Marvin in my life, creating a home where I feel welcome.  It is my reason for my happiness to be in a relationship with a man who does not wish to change me.  I can continue with my joy I love so much, “travel” and touch base with a home where I am totally accepted.  And many times Tom has and will continue to join me in my travels.
