sophomore

Today is day 371.

I have no idea
how or where to pick up where I left off. Maybe it will happen, but likely it won't. I need to remember, but I also want to forget. It wasn't all bad, but it got damn hard. And then there was grace. Oh, sweet grace.

I'm smiling again. And gum-chewing too.

This morning I ran, and I felt free. It felt so good. Lisa and I spoke on the phone over dishes, and I felt like I was home. Here I sit in this old familiar chair, six days into our second year. I'm missing home and finding it too.

Mostly, I'm glad about it.

That was my favorite part of my day when you called. It was great to hear your voice and picture you on the island happy. Come see me.
