Time Capsule

I suspect a lot of you are back for the same reason as I am… OD is our own personal time capsule.  So much of my life is on these pages.  It’s bitter sweet isn’t it?  And then there was the big break when OD was gone.   So much to catch up on.   Some of that is depressing to think about.  Deaths.  Marriages.  Murder.

But I have to admit, there is more to my time capsule thoughts.   Something that has been bugging me since OD went down, that only OD could answer, and well, now, I have my answer.  Thank you DiaryMaster, I am sure you did it just for me.  Grins.

Recall, when OD went down we had advanced warning, and like a lot of you I wrote a farewell entry.  OD and you meant a lot and deserved some tender loving.  I wrote it with a week to spare, and I always meant to come back and read my notes, establish contact before OD was gone for good.

But I didn’t.  Maybe freudian.  Maybe it was just the times.  Those were really a dark point in my life.   OD went down before I could come back and see who had, and had not, reached out.   And thats been bugging me.   Who knows how life could have changed?   That missed opportunity to make the wrong, right.

But it is what it is.   Real life.   It’s rarely about the one moment, it’s mostly about the sum total.   Those that had cared for me all along, reached out.  Those that did not, did not.  It is good to check that nagging worry off my list though.

The picture above is from the Blue Ridge Parkway last early spring.   Definitely a sum total moment.
