Pigs Fly...Swine Flu...

Today I wanted to blog about California. I wanted it to be my last blog from Cali, something meaningful.

I find myself at a complete inability to sum up the 6 weeks of laughter, growth, healing, friendship, learning, amazement and fun that has happened here in words.

I find it impossible to take these people who have been my family over the last 6 weeks...the ones who are there at breakfast every morning, who I walk to dinner with every night, who i dress in 80's gear with for socials, and who are in that circle with me during American Pie into words that have limits...

I find it impossible to talk about the healing and personal growth that happened in Palo Alto. The past disappointments which were erased, the things I learned about myself, the things I learned about others, and the relief your heart feels when all is well in your world...into some group of characters that i can type with this keyboard.

I can't begin to explain the laughter, the tears, the hilarity and the emotion that goes into 6 weeks. Words for Orbit Ball, Medic, and Socials...into learning and dancing the Hoe-Down Throw down for the first time...into solving 31 rows of Pascals Triangle.

So, my lack of words has frustrated me. And I am just going to say this...and then take my friend Patty's advice and blog after I leave here and reality can set in...

This has been the best summer of my life. I met some really amazing people that I'm going to miss. I found what had been missing for a really long time. I laughed harder than I remember in a long time. I loved every last minute...And, I didn't catch the Swine Flu.
