all for one and one for all | Japan bound ...

Good | Random | Fun ...

It is always good when you get to spend some time with your kids (especially after they have left for college).  Brief though it was, Ryan came home for a quick visit before I head abroad and humored me by tagging along as I ran random errands (not a lot of kids are willing to chat with you while you get your nails done, scour the aisles for sinus treatment, and help you pick out a new room fragrance in Bath & Body). And what fun is it to have a kid home unless you fix something homemade 
(blueberry muffins - with mombarista coffee).

wake me up when September ends ...

or not! 

Let sleeping dogs cats lie is my philosophy.

When I had no roof I made audacity my roof.  
When I had no supper, my eyes dined.

When I had no eyes, I listened.
When I had no ears, I thought.
When I had no thought, I waited.

When I had no father, I made Care my father.
When I had no mother, I embraced Order.

When I had no friend, I made quiet my friend.
When I had no enemy, I opposed my body.

When I had no temple, I made my voice my temple.
When I had no priest, my tongue is my choir.

When I have no means, fortune is my means.
When I have nothing, death will be my fortune.

Need is my tactic, detachment is my strategy.
When I had no lover, I court my sleep.

Well folks, I'm off to Japan. 

I am going to be spotty on blogging so I can soak it all in, 

explore this place that has captivated my daughter, 

experience new adventures, and just cherish being with my girl. 

My trusty camera will ever be by my side, so there will be lots to share when I return.

 さようなら 

Sayōnara 

later!
