My sunny place

"I drink deeply from the well of friendship and come away thirsting for more."-T.Newson

I am on a self-care vacation. I have left behind the family, the freezing cold, the gray skies and all the winter doldrums that go with February in Tennessee.

I am in sunny south Florida. The high today will be 73. The sky is a brilliant blue. I feel at home with the palm trees, the sand and the sun.

These are my people, the vibrant cultures that intermix in Miami. The warm embrace of those I grew up with, those who watched me evolve from a child to a woman.

There's no place like home, especially in February.
