Enouement

All we can do is decide what to do with our time. That is all we have ever been able to do.

We’ve come full Circle: That is what my sister of 54 of my 60 years said.

The one who has traveled more of my lifetime with me than any other being on the planet. The one to whom I have a debt of gratitude that I can never repay; for being here in the early springtime of our lives in our 20s when wide-eyed and paying our way on Amex two for one Eastern Airlines coupons we traveled here to the Yucatan after I took the bar exam for the first time. In later years when, with our then young families, we also came here for respite from the cold New England winters. In the now, when children have grown and flown, we have a long retrospective while here again.

From today’s vantage point, I do not know quite what I would tell my past-self about the days between then and now.

But, I do know I would tell myself that I am ever thankful that CSWA decided to spend the time with me. And, that I always knew that she was the sweetness in the enouement.
