How things change, and how quickly.
I've since danced in Springsteen's dark, booked an apartment (for research) in Florence, tugged (most of) the weeds away, and listened to my son talk, with such confidence and happiness, about his new city and his deepening passions. I have read books about birds and eggs, teared up at Michelle Obama, been interviewed by two men for separate publications who startled me with their knowledge of my work, navigated unexpected changes in my publishing life, finished an employee newsletter, reached out to friends who were there, and been reminded, over and over again, that love is the most important thing. Love, and a child's happiness.
This weekend I'm hibernating just a bit as I work my way through the first and second chapters of that now-Florence novel. I'm going to the movies with my husband (he has promised me a trip to "The Words"). And I'm preparing for the next few weeks. Please join me, if you can.
