I am glad you seemed to enjoy your time away, and I am glad you stopped in to do a Christmas timed post. I always enjoy your art, and your words/stories. Funny how some lines can really open a minds eye.

was alone, and did a really good job of becoming friends with myself again.

I use to love to go ruck camping as a new/younger adult. Just me and my dog, out and away from everyone and everything. I had not thought of those days in a long time, so thank you for the memory.
