A TRIP TO THE AIRPORT..

Tuesday,  July 9, 2013

Today my daughter left for Seattle, WA for two weeks.  I am staying at her house to
dog sit so I drove her to Tampa to the airport.  She was terrified to fly especially
after the Airline accident this week in San Francisco.  As I left her at the terminal
I prayed for a good flight.  I had not had breakfast or lunch so I decided to stop
on my way home at Cracker Barrel.  This is always a fun place to stop and the
food is so good.  I already missed her as I sat and had lunch by myself.  One of
the reasons I started this blog was to try to deal with being by myself and how
lonely it can be.  I was married for 30 years and last year my husband and I
separated.  There were many reasons, it probably should have happened a long
time ago but that doesn't make it any easier.  I moved to Northern Florida to a
small town, actually I'm in the country about 20 miles from the nearest small
town.  It was quite an adjustment from Naples, FL where I had lived for 24 years.
I'm sure anyone reading my daily blogs will find them quite boring, but this is
therapy for me.  I had found myself in a deep depression, one where I didn't
even want to get out of bed or leave the house.  Things got a little better when
I came to visit my daughter as she gets me out of the house and makes me
do things with her.  I decided to start blogging or journaling with a goal of
doing at least one thing each day that will get me up and out of the house and
get my mind off the past and onto what I hope will be a happier future.
As I was walking the dog this evening, I noticed what a beautiful evening it was.
I have not done that in a very long time.  This makes me think, maybe I am on
my way to happiness...
