I wrote to Jessie. A 5 page love letter. Of course she was the 1st on my list! I really wanted to think on what to say and make sure it was straight from the heart. I have 22 more letters to write and one of them will be very hard. In fact the name was scratched off the list 2x just because it is a letter I have needed to write for a very long time and I am not looking forward to it. I dont want to just scribble a bunch of meaningless babble to these people so I am not writing in any order. I figure I will think about each person, really reflect on who they are to me then write.

I love where I live and have found this sense of ownership and responsibility that I have never felt anywhere else. Little things like picking up garbage are such a huge difference and the people who do it deserve a pat on the back. I have also joined my business and nieghborhood comitee and helped put together a Street Fair that raised funds for a nieghboring child center. It feels great, and it is worth putting time and energy into those around you. Now – how to do it on a bigger scale?
There is something for me there. I really would like to visit sooner than latter. Its just this whole grown up thing I have going on —-you know working, kids, husband, bills. I love all these things really but it makes it very hard to pick up and take off. There always seems to be a more important, less expensive, trip or bill or remodel for the house. I am the only one in my family that really wants to see Arizona and I am almost positive it is a trip I need to take on my own. It will happen when its supposed to.
