The sun was rising behind me as I drove toward the hills of Port Orchard. A misty fog was settling in, melting into the sound. Just the tops of the Evergreens popped through the foggy ceiling, letting a secret light escape from what lie beneath. And I said to myself, "This is truly a beautiful place."I took David to the boat this morning uh-gain, and we said goodbye uh-gain; he is leaving uh-gain. The life of a military spouse is a double edged sword, a thankless job. It is funny but David won't even be here for the big Military Spouse Appreciation Day. That is just ironic. But I know that without me David couldn't do his job.
We could be just looking forward to when he gets out or gets a shore duty, but what a waste of life. There is so much beauty and possiblity around me. I want to focus on what I do have, not count the days till I can leave. It is just so dangerous to think that when I get to some point in my life then everything will be great. But there are challenges every step of the way. I get a paid adventure and that is more than most civilians get.
