So I'm in Idyllwild right now. I flew from San Francisco to LAX on Wednesday, and my stepmom (still sounds funny) Melissa picked me up. We had a great day in LA - had lunch with her daughter Jen, then did some shopping and drove back to Idyllwild, which is about two and a half hours from LA. It was great to have some one on one time with Melissa. She has such a sweet spirit and I really dig her. I even told Mom at one point, "I think she's the best thing that ever happened to Dad." Gotta love Mom's response: "Oh that's so great to hear!"
It's great to be in the mountains, to really see the stars and the bright moon, breathe some clean, dry air. I love the warm during the day, cool at night thing too. It's a full moon right now - the last time it was full I was in Bali, so that's pretty trippy. I'm looking forward to my LA time next week. I have some plans lined up, but mostly I'm just freeflowing. It's crazy how my head is right now. I don't really have a schedule or deadlines or anything, so I don't freak out about being late for anything or having to wait for anything. I'm hoping I can take a litlte piece of that home with me. It's amazing how the impact of this trip is some kind of a delayed thing. I really felt the benefits of being in Asia about two weeks after I returned, and all of this time with family I'm sure will hit me in the same sort of way.
So for now I'm here. Trying to just enjoy the sounds and the smells of all the yummy nature around me. Going for a hike today and tomorrow and just hanging with Dad and Melissa. It's so nice not to have a schedule because I know soon I'll need to get one. Monday I go to LA.
