Since I have returned to Ojo the town has been buzzing with life. They have been setting up for the local fair all week and food, candy, clothing and toy stands start to go up everywhere. As I walk through the streets on my way to buy groceries I feel the place come alive. I want to feel the same way but its hard when I am so far away from the things that make me feel alive. I feel a bit in the dumps lately and I must look it because aunt Ruth comes over to invite me to go with her to listen to music and watch performances in the town square. I need something to keep my mind occupied and so I agree. We watch musicians sing, dance and watch as they announce the fair’s queen and her court. Everyone in town is out to witness the event and the town square is crowded with people wanting to get a glimpse at the royal court. I watch because have to and because I am there but I can not find joy in the things I do lately. I need a pick me up and maybe a call from my husband will help. At 9:30 pm I excuse myself and let my aunt know I have to head home for my 10 pm call from home. The call comes in and I fall apart, some days are better than other and today is one of those “less than better” ones. I love you honey, thanks for reminding me that I have a beautiful life to come home to.
