Reconnecting and Letting Go
I've just returned from a very refreshing, relaxing and SHORT trip up to Mammoth Lakes, CA. Which happens to be my favorite place in the whole world. True, it's a 4-5 hour drive through what is mostly a featureless desert landscape populated only by joshua trees, scrubby foliage, and billboards every 20 miles or so advertising the "BEST BEEF JERKY EVER, WE'RE NOT EVEN KIDDING, ONLY 75 MILES AHEAD!!!"
It was as perfect up there as it always is. I went up there with The Girl, so now she knows why it's my favorite place. I also scattered Maisie's ashes in Red's Lake, where she liked to swim. Shortly thereafter, we met a little border collie named Bandit who very sweetly brought us a ball to throw for her. It was perfect timing. I'd finally let Maisie go, and then along came Bandit to tell us that there's always room to make new friends and have new adventures.
