Time draws close, time draws near
to say goodbye to Southwest Florida
my home for nearly two years.
I came near to making this
my permanent home -- with real estate
purchase eminent and big plans made.
Looking back, this near miss was
profound. It caused me to reevaluate
what it was I wanted -- period.
Nearly a year later, I sit
amidst packing boxes, to do lists,
class schedules and a renewed purpose.
Near miss? No -- a course correction
to the future I dreamed about
nearly a year ago this month.

Athena, First thanks for your sweet comment on "Near." You are always so encouraging.
This piece is clear and to the point and at the same time, touching and leaves me wondering where it is that you are going. Change is never easy, even it it's our own idea. I admire you courage - your writing talent, too!
Thanks CJ :) I love reading your work -- so glad we found each other through Melissa!
Near misses are fresh starts in disguise! :)
