A Wandering Widow

“One Life. Just One. Why aren’t we running like we’re on fire towards our wildest dreams?”

I get told a lot that I don’t sit still for very long. It’s true. Sometimes I think its a classic trauma response. But I also feel that I have so much living to do and I don’t know how much time I have left. None of us know our expiration date for fulfilling our dreams.

I also feel an obligation to Kevin to do the things that we had planned on doing together. I know that he thought he had all of the time in the world. He was young, healthy and strong. He was sick for five months and then he was gone. Everything can change that quickly.

This past weekend I went to the Hollywood Bowl to see Duran Duran. We had tickets to see them back in 2016 but Jared had just had major surgery and Kevin didn’t feel comfortable leaving him. We tried one other time and that didn’t work out either. So off I went alone to LA. Even a downpour of rain didn’t dampen my spirits. I sang and danced and had a great time.

I encourage each of you to make your bucket list and start checking things off. They don’t have to be big things. Some of my items on my list are very small. But I also encourage you to do something that is out of your comfort zone. I’m getting ready to do that this week. Stay tuned.
