In California, there were so many more options and we were so high on those choices. ......
There was magic in the air and all things were possible. There was an openness that was delicious.
And I have just returned from an 8 day trip to the Bay area to visit my dear friend, Judith. She and I were very good friends back them and we have been able to successfully reconnect after 35 years.That has been a gift. I wanted to love it as much as I had back then. This time, it was very congested and the driving was challenging all times of the day and night. There is a lot of wealth and there are huge areas of homeless tent cities that are uninhabitable and unsustainable. The openness of the 70' sand 80's has shifted to a much less tolerant time. Yet, it is still beautiful and awe inspiring and I am clear that I can't go back.
In some ways, I tricked myself into believing that the west coast of Florida would be similar to the west coast . It really is not. .....However for me, like before, I am being gifted with many open doors and interesting opportunities to do new and different things in Florida as in California. I am grateful........
