For Sale..

 For Sale..one Sea Eagle Kayak..

I placed an ad on Facebook Marketplace for our 2 person inflatable sea kayak..I listed the specs but didn't list the history of this kayak or what it meant in our lives. 

It is a sad thing to let go of a shared life. 

Tom and I shared many adventures in this kayak. 

Our first trip in it we pumped it up and got in..not realizing that there were plugs in the floor of it that needed to be closed. The boat filled up with water and we bailed!! 

Once we got it figured out we mainly took it on an estuary in San Carlos, Mexico. We paddled each morning and saw dolphins, and many many birds. 

It was so wonderful. And now I am saying goodby to this part of my life.

Sometimes I wonder if I appreciated the life I had with Tom as we lived it. I think I did, but not enough. Now I remember all those days in our boat..lugging it down to the water..paddling it in the sea. 

This year has been a year of healing for me.

"Healing that doesn’t announce itself, but works slowly beneath the surface.

Clarity that isn’t gifted, but earned, shaped by necessity, not ease.

The kind of truth that arrives only when you’ve run out of distractions.

What remains when everything else is stripped back."

I could do with some clarity in my life right now. But will settle for it bit by bit.
