\"photo.JPG\"This brings me to \u201clife in transition.\u201d This birthday IS A MILESTONE<\/strong>!<\/p>

For the first time in many (yes MANY!) years, I am \u201ctransitioning\u201d from living full-time in mountainous, dry-climate Colorado — where children were raised and snow skiing was prevalent \u2013 to a new season of life in hot, humid Florida where cruise ships are prevalent and the majesties of oceans surround three boundaries of the\u00a0 state.<\/p>

Last week was filled with birthday and retirement parties in CO, packing boxes to ship, reclaiming the art of sewing covers for pillows on a sewing machine not touched in 10 years, filling suitcases with \u201cstuff\u201d and arriving in Florida fully exhausted and spent.<\/p>

And so I left a part of my heart with those in CO after floods ravaged the state,\u00a0 thankful my home and Traci\u2019s is OK but heaviness hangs with those who were not so\u00a0 fortunate. Life in transition.<\/p>

Truly the Marco Island Marriott is magical, a perfect place for a milestone birthday.\u00a0 Thanks to Traci and Terri and families, it was \u2018almost free\u2019 as they say in Mexico.<\/p>

These are the types of scenes that brought me to love the ocean\u2026.. that brought me to realize on a cruise ship you can work and yet play, you can enjoy the likes of glaciers in Alaska, and the next week walk on a sandy beach. I found my niche and explore my passions every day.<\/p>

\"photo.JPG\"\"photo.JPG\"<\/p>

I am thankful for this and every day. When I\u2019m working, the view from my office\u00a0 window changes, reminding me of the sunrise and sunsets in our lives. God is good!\u00a0 No matter how you look at it, God is good!<\/p>

The day is gone. Another season has ended, and another is just beginning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
