Saying goodbye ...

I have never liked saying goodbye. I avoid it when I can. Goodbye seems so finite, so final. One never knows when I will come this way again. My time in southern Oregon has been a gift to myself. Permission to take a breather, to do a personal inventory, to take a look at where I'm going and where I've been. A blessing indeed. As I move away from this place I take with me the gifts I've received during my stay here. I will always hold them close to my heart.

Time to Return

Found this lovely secluded spot while exploring the hills of southern Oregon.

I love taking this winding road as I drive through the country, it is quiet and peaceful.

I've been living here three years now and I never tire of the view and scenic surroundings. I will miss this place. It has been a restorative and rejuvenating experience for me. I'm glad I had the window of opportunity and took the leap to explore a new place and live in a different state. 

The time has come for me to return to Utah. I have missed living closer to my family and with grandchildren living there now it is difficult to be away. I will come back to visit and I believe my family will too. We have all enjoyed experiencing the beauty of southern Oregon. 

My daughter Liz will be here for a couple of weeks and we will visit some of our favorite spots before we finish packing for the move. I will share those photos in the next post 😀
