Sorting the Suitcases of My Life


Just returned from MA and will be in SoCal for about 10 days then back to Puerto Vallarta. I have been on the go so much that I have no idea what season it is. My RV is a mess with 3 piles of clothing for 3 different climates and 3 different suitcase type things to accommodate the needs of each place. My “closet “is now plastic bins stacked in my storage shed labeled by season and type of clothing contained. I find myself bouncing back and forth between 3 different time zones. I manage to have overcome jet lag of any sort as there has not been any such thing as a regular schedule in over a year but it’ s hell on things that have to be scheduled ‒ like medications.

I sit here and think “who’d of thought?” All of the constant changing has served to propel me into my own world - so much larger than anything I ever experienced before. Other than hating the airport routine (flying is fine ‒ it’s just the airports that try my patience) I amaze myself that I have adjusted so well to chaos. Sort of reminds me of an old movie “If it’s Tues. This must be Belgium”. I never would have believed it possible to live so free and be able to completely be in my art and creativity - what I had in mind in the hay day if my youthful hippie adventures.

I know the time will come to settle down and to some extent I am there at least relationship wise but I am so thrilled with this unanticipated but long dreamed of adventure. I reflect on the “golden years” of my mother and grandmothers. Nothing like mine. It is so much easier now for us who find ourselves single at this stage in life (probably in the majority since there are more women than men in the US) to be seen as human beings able to fully participate in life. “We’ve come a long way Baby” and perhaps the best is yet to come. My thanks to all of the brave women who struggled to change society and make this possible for me.
