I’m thankful today for being able to adapt to changing plans. My flight last night was cancelled (delayed?) as I sat at the airport ready to board. In the past I was a person who would get quite aggravated at this – would blame innocent people for things beyond their control and I was really happy to realize on the long dark drive home that I’m no longer that very unhappy girl. Instead of expending energy getting mad I instead used that energy for fun – got an extra unplanned WOD in at the box at 9:30am (the most relaxed time of the day) and followed that up with a fun breakfast with awesome company (thanks Angie)… it was a blast and felt like a ‘free’ day. I managed to eventually get to Rarotonga a day later and it didn’t even matter. I didn’t miss much there and I gained so much more here including that ‘did not depart’ stamp in my passport that makes for another outstanding adventure story.

I stare out at the puffy clouds and want to jump into their softness. Feel a connection to you a world away – somewhere. I don’t know exactly the distance but at this height it doesn’t seem so far. Just a sunset away. In this moment, staring out into the fading sunlight I feel close to you – closer than I have in some time and I cherish it as I drift to sleep with a smile on my face.
