It's not really my day to post, but . . .

I'll take it anyway.

It's Heather Horrocks' day, but she had to catch a plane because she can't bear to sit long enough to drive from Utah to the Phoenix area. She loves her family, and since they all rode off without her, she flew down to be with them.

Whether she will arrive before or after them is immaterial. She's not here. She will show up sometime later this month to say goodbye, though, as she is leaving our blog team.

Now we have a new blog team member on board: Stephanie Abney. I'll let her introduce herself when the time comes, but just to let you know a bit, she is a witty, fun, marvelous friend, and a longtime member of ANWA. She has opinions, thoughts, insights, and ideas. She has experienced loss and disappointment in life, and plays the native American Flute. She is also the current Executive Vice President of ANWA. Please welcome her when she steps up to blog.

If life teaches us one thing, it is that nothing is so permanent as change. My advice, therefore, is to savor the moment. Take pleasure in what you do while you are doing it. Enjoy the ride.
