I worried this trip on this ship where I was married twenty years ago would bring up too many emotions but the reality is I just don't have time to feel right now and I think that is okay.
On several occasions, I have tried to pause and reflect. My parents have even asked me questions about how it is going. And I just don't have answers right now. And I don't think I need answers right now.
So I'm just going to live each travel day in the moment. I'm going to enjoy this time with my family including some great one-on-one time with each my niece and nephew. And I'm going to rest not only my body but also my mind.
There will be plenty of quiet time to think when I get home.
Now back to watching the smooth waters of the Saint Lawrence Seaway pass by the window where I sit, low level clouds and fog obscuring parts of the land visible on each side of the ship. Tomorrow, the skies should clear so I can enjoy some time on my parents' balcony.
