This is Fruitycake The Raccoon. Just a reminder that I’m not a real raccoon. I just play one on the internet.
What a few days. We have done more driving than anyone I know.
And yet, tomorrow, we drive again. To where? Don’t know. But I know we are done in this Miami place.
Once again, the persons were hit with more disappointment about papers.
And then Brickle started feeling real bad again.
I don’t do well in this heat either. It’s as hot as you can imagine it to be.
And since we are in limbo in life, maybe we should cook gumbo.
You think that makes no sense? Think again. You haven’t met the Gumbo Limbo tree.
Yes. There’s a tree here in this Florida place that looks like it has sunburn. Some even call it the tourist tree.
And I know how this tree feels. We don’t do well in this heat. We are feeling pretty beat up. And we need to peel off this negativity. It’s time to go. Where? I don’t know.
But unlike the Gumbo Limbo tree who can’t go far, or anywhere, we can.
We can pull ourselves together. Especially to take care of Brickle.
Sometimes you have to realize that you are even stronger than a tree. You have to realize you can stand tall. But I don’t want to peel like the gumbo limbo tree. No thanks.
Life sure can make us wonder if we are worthy enough for our dreams. Life can make us question everything when one individual we love is sick.
Life can put us in limbo. But work thru it. Mix it up if you have to…like a pot of gumbo. You’re stronger than that tree. I know it.
