Travels and dreams...

Hello dear friends! I’ve been silent for a while, but there’s a reason for my disappearance. My husband and I just relocated to Prescott Valley, AZ. The journey included unexpected hurdles, which still impact us. But in two days, we should have WiFi and with that gift, a means to visit your sites and respond to your posts. Right now, I’m limited to my phone and iPad—complicated at best. 

Here’s a short Tanka about the path we travel. Hope yours is bursting with life. ❤️

I looked around there a few years ago. Is Prescott Valley the same as Prescott? I liked so much about it but couldn't find the home I wanted.

Hi Jacqui, they are two separate sister cities, and one flows into the next. It is a beautiful area. 🙂

This is lovely, Gwen. Moving home is always difficult and tiring. All the best getting everything sorted out.

So true, Jacquie. I’d forgotten just how hard it can be — until this move. I hope this is the last. 😊

So good to hear you have found your new home in Prescott Valley, AZ, Gwen! We have been there once some years ago. I can imagine it was a great challenge to move. Yes, without Wi-Fi, one would feel disconnected. I'm glad you could use your phone and iPad to do something basic. Hope you get settled and get some rest.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
