Taking A Rest in the Journey

[image error]The only thing I remember about Halloween last year was that I went trick or treating with my friend JJ's family and left a bowl of Halloween candy on my front porch. When I got home, the bowl was near the end of my driveway, empty of course. Instead it's the Halloween before that sticks in my mind.

Halloween 2011 was the night before I moved from Albuquerque back to Illinois. The divorce was final and what I was taking with me filled a POD that was picked up the morning of November 1. My sister Karen flew in and that night we had one last dinner at Fronter Restaurant, my very favorite place to eat.

When we drove out of town, I honestly didn't believe that I would return to Albuquerque. While people told me they were going to miss me and I would tell them that maybe I would be back, I didn't see it. I wasn't sure where my life was going but at the time it felt like the Midwest and East was where I needed to be.
