not all who wander are lost

Today I am a woman of leisure. For the first time in over a year, I feel like I have the time/energy to do good things for myself. I'm savoring this Lydia time, time to be with myself and be thankful for this journey I have emerged from. I'm spending time with friends, sleeping in (sort of--my body is still on Sanctuary time), relishing in the idea that I have spent the last almost 2 years of my life completely devoted to something I believe in, but now it is time to bring a little more balance back to my life.

The Sanctuary will always be a part of me and my convictions about animal welfare, which are a huge part of who I am, but there are also other parts of me that have been neglected.

Here's to what's next.....

And here's to the man who helped me get here.....
