Are you lonesome tonight?

Sorry I couldn't help myself. The biggest news story today was all about the Japanese emperors visit to Graceland. I am going to be blogging more often now - my life has FINALLY slowed down (kinda).

I am dogsitting for a friend and I am looking forward to the down time and alone time. Everyone is out of town. Two of my "family" come home on Sunday night. Then two more on the Fourth and then the last one next Sat. While I have been excited for this time I really do feel lonely. I wonder if this is what it is going to feel like next year? This time next year the "family" is literally going to be scattered around the world. The thing is while I know that the upcoming moves are in God's will - it still hurts a little bit. I guess I have finally let my walls down and allowed myself to get close to people again.
