And is a mere transient tranquility.

Rather, I wish to be joyous—

A delight that runs deeper than pain and pleasure

Nothing short of temporary

Simply the result of Being! 2/3/10

Instead, it became a semi-solo road trip and a mother-daughter-getaway that I will forever cherish... A Birthday Celebration that transcended fears and Doubts... Upon sharing with my husband that I
